Clearing mental clutter with morning pages: Practice morning pages, a simple routine of writing three pages of whatever comes to mind every morning, to clear mental clutter and refocus energy on goals and priorities
We're all feeling a bit jangly these days. It's been a long year with many challenges, and we're all dealing with uncertainty and frustration. Many of us are waiting on things in our personal and professional lives, which adds to the sense of unease. To help clear out the mental clutter and get back to ourselves, my colleague and I recommend practicing morning pages. This simple routine, inspired by Julia Cameron's book "The Artist's Way," involves writing three pages of whatever comes to mind every morning before starting the day. This exercise can help clear out the jangles in our minds and refocus our energy on our goals and priorities. So, if you're feeling jangly and need to refine your thoughts and emotions, give morning pages a try.
Write three pages daily for mental wellbeing: Writing three pages daily without stopping can improve mental wellbeing and boost positivity in just a week.
Engaging in regular writing practice, specifically writing three pages without stopping, can be an effective way to clear your mind and improve your mental wellbeing. This simple exercise, as suggested by Kate Cocker from the Volley Network, can make a noticeable difference in just a week. Give it a try and see for yourself! It's a simple yet powerful way to boost your positivity and prepare for the weekend. Keep in mind, the goal is not to judge or analyze the content of your writing, but rather to let the process of writing serve as a mental tonic. So, take a break from your daily routine and give this writing exercise a try. You might be surprised by the clarity and positivity it brings to your day.
