Morning Pages: A Creative Way to Express Emotions: Writing three pages of thoughts every morning can help unload emotions, find clarity, and lead to a productive day.
Expressing emotions and dealing with negativity is not one-size-fits-all. Some people find talking therapy helpful, while others may prefer alternative methods like drawing, writing, or even dancing. One such method is called "Morning Pages," a technique from the book "The Artist's Way." This practice involves writing three pages of whatever comes to mind every morning before starting the day. The writer emphasizes that it's a safe space to unload thoughts and feelings, and it can lead to surprising revelations and emotional clarity. Even if the writing is angry or negative, it's a normal part of the process. The goal is to put pen to paper and unclog the mind, leading to a positive and productive day. So, remember, find what works best for you and embrace your unique way of expressing yourself. My name's Kate Cocker, and you've got this!
