Morning pages is a journaling practice created by Julia Cameron and discussed in her work The Artist’s Way. The method is simple. Wake up early and write at least three pages of stream of consciousness thoughts to begin your day. Before you do anything else, write three-pages of whatever comes to mind. Simple enough, right? This journaling practice can have big impact.
The purpose is to get through the mental blocks that sometimes cloud the rest of our day. The purpose is to silence your inner-critic, release what may be in your head, and to get your thoughts on the paper to leave them for the day.
