Journaling – or morning pages – has long been a tool for personal growth and self-discovery, but the practice of writing morning pages takes this to a whole new level.

Morning pages, as popularized by Julia Cameron in her book “The Artist’s Way,” are a daily writing practice where you write three pages of longhand, stream-of-consciousness writing every morning.
This practice has the power to transform your life in many ways.
First, morning pages provide a space for you to express your thoughts and feelings without judgment. This can be a powerful release for many people who may be struggling with anxiety, stress, or other emotions that are difficult to process. By writing these thoughts down on paper, you are able to give them a tangible form and process them more effectively.
Second, morning pages can help you identify patterns and beliefs that may be holding you back in your life. By writing out your thoughts and feelings every morning, you may start to notice certain themes or recurring patterns that are impacting your life in negative ways. Once you are aware of these patterns, you can begin to take steps to change them and create a more positive future.
Finally, morning pages can help you cultivate a deeper sense of creativity and inspiration in your life. By allowing yourself to write freely and without judgment, you open up a space for new ideas and insights to emerge. This can be a powerful tool for anyone looking to tap into their creativity and bring new ideas to life.
If you’re interested in starting a morning pages practice, it’s important to choose a notebook that inspires you and feels good to write in.
We love vintage notebooks with a leather cover. Inscribe it with your name and put it somewhere where you know it won’t be read by others. Your thoughts should stay just that: YOUR thoughts, in order for you to feel safe writing them down.
