Morning Pages (The Artist Way) | tips & motivation

I've been doing morning pages for about a month now. Immediately following morning pages, as soon as I put my pen and book down, I've been making a conscious habit to meditate for at least 10 minutes, focusing on breath work and body scanning. I've been noticing a quiet but noticeable change for the better in my mood, my self-esteem and my ability to stay present and focused throughout the day over the past month. This video is lovely and so warm, thank you for sharing. You have a very soothing and sweet voice. :)

I've been struggling to commit to morning pages because of the fear of the unknown, but your video really made it seem accessible to me :) Thank you!

These are great tips, thank you. I too am going to start with the morning pages and artist's dates for now and worry about reading the book and doing he rest of the exercises later. It sounds fabulous the way you describe it.

I've been searching YouTube for The Artist Way/Morning Pages videos and found a few that were quite helpful. However, I truly appreciate the tips and advice you gave in your videos! I started morning pages a few years ago and stopped doing them because I was trying so hard to box myself into Julia Cameron's way or her creative journey when what I should have done was take her advice and tailor it to my own creative way, as you have nicely explained in this video! Thank you so much for sharing your insights and now I'm intrigued to see what else you do on this channel! Take care.💕

I just started my morning pages so now having a cup of herb tea. And so happy to have started.❤❤❤

Thank you for the tips. I liked your suggestion to write about your surroundings.

Wow sensory dump is perfect. Really love that.

Very helpful advice for beginners, many thanks. I want to start with morning pages and artist dates, and I plan to start full 12 weeks of artist way in the July when i have more time and headspace

I just wanna say, all your videos got me through a Art depression I had. You are so helpful and inspiring!

For me the time that i write isn’t that important, but i try to write every day. I mostly just write about my day so most of the time i do it when i am back home from work or in the weekend home again.

Your videos are so relaxing 💖🌼

Can I write negative things in my morning page? I just found your channel and want to start write my morning page but a bit confused.. need your hands💗!

Hi! Can I write on my laptop? I have a huge problem with concentration/I am a perfectionist (not in a good way hahhahha) , so I started to look at my calligraphy, if I go straight, If it's nice to look at or bad etc etc Would it be the same? thank you

Help? Advice? It takes me a VERY long time to write morning pages (brain dump)! 3 handwritten pages (on ipad pro 12.9)(or 750 words of typed with swipe keyboard) take me 1.5 hrs, or 30 minutes each per page. I am finding it difficult to stay motivated. However, when I try to write less and go easy on myself I never feel like I run out of stuff to write. This is bad because I now enjoy running out of ideas because that's where the Real breakthroughs are. I hate being so slow at things! Is there any way to NOT to set my alarm 1.5 hours earlier? So what I'm I doing wrong?

It is good to spread this tool. But the idea Julia has put out, is to write 3 pages, not 2 and not more than 3. And the idea is to write first thing in the morning. So when you have kids, you find your way. Everybody can find a way, if they really want to. Morningpages is one thing, with one of Julia´s ideas and lots og experience behind, journaling is something else.
