It’s important to write without a filter to allow your most genuine thoughts onto the page. This is where the most crucial part of morning pages comes in - having no filter. Somehow spilling your thoughts onto a page gets them off your mind. The purpose of writing in a stream of consciousness is to get everything that’s stuck on your mind onto a page and to learn to let go. Personally, I’ve stuck with three pages for simplicity. But if you find that writing less or more will benefit you, adjust your own routine accordingly. Three pages are the number of pages recommended by Julia Cameron. Remember that the purpose of morning pages is to prepare you for your day, not inhibit it. Limiting yourself to three pages also stops you from reaching the point where you’re writing to feel productive.
This is essential for unlocking new thoughts by forcing you to come up with something different. When you write three pages, you’ll find that it’ll be easy for the first page or two but challenge you more the further you go. There’s no way you can write about the same thing for three pages and keep it interesting(at least I can’t). The purpose of ‘three’ pages is to write an amount that will bring out your creativity.
However, this was overcome with further understanding of why the features of morning pages exist. When I first started doing morning pages, I found it uncomfortable to write without any structure. So far, I haven’t looked back.Īlthough simple, it’s lack of complexity does create some difficulty if you’ve never done them before. When I’m done with a journal, I store it away just in case I might need it in the future. Nobody is ever allowed to read them, not even you. Other than having three pages, there’s no structure. No need to force yourself to write about it. If there’s something specific you want to write about, your mind will naturally put it at the forefront of your mind. This means that you put your pen to paper, start writing and don’t stop until three pages are done. They’re three longhand pages written in a stream of consciousness in the morning - as the name suggests. My favorite and the one I currently use is morning pages from The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron. There are many different types of journaling systems you can follow.
