As we entered new year 2023, Every year we set some resolutions, and some good habits to inculcate. So today I am going to write about one habit which has changed my life so drastically and impacted in every aspect of my life. If you wanna know how? then continue reading.
Everyone has so much going on in their lives: juggling with jobs, family, relationships, bickering over trivial issues, deadlines, disasters, accomplishments, and worries. There’s so much rattling around in our brains all the time and we usually don’t realize it. We carry the weight with us wherever we go, all the stress and anxiety and planning. It can bog us down and get in the way of the importants things in life. While it can often feel that this is simply the burden of being human, so there is a way out to lighten this load.
Last year by end of November I came across a book called The Artist Way by Julia Cameron, and I found that book bit unique, first let me tell you what is the concept of this book, it’s that simple. The concept behind the idea of Morning pages are three pages of longhand, stream-of-consciousness writing, done very first thing in the morning right of waking up, they are anything and anything that crosses your mind. and that’s only for your eyes, just jot down three that might be anything on paper and remember to fill three pages.
Being said that it sounded me different, however, something felt different and I then decided to give it go, initially I didn’t felt anything but gradually I started observing how things kept on changing and surprisingly my life changed drastically. Dumping thoughts on paper as they come, helping me to clear my head and heart, Over time, this started having a riffle effect in different areas of my life such as clarity on thoughts, discovering creativity, and living healthier life above all I found myself.
How to start Morning pages?
This doesn’t need guide or rule or process to be followed and the specialty, its something that is easy to make entirely your own.
Step -1 Have a dedicated diary/journal.
Step – 2 Start writing three pages.
Step -3 Repeat it on daily basis(NO EXCUSE)
As simple as that so I suggest you to give it a shot for a few couples/take a 30-day challenge to see it if it makes any difference in your life, and then decide if its worth continuing, I hope this piece of habit helps you to start your journey to write morning pages and introduces you to a newer version of yourself. Wishing you all a gleeful and charismatic new year to all.
