I'm reading through "The artists way" by Julia Cameron with a client. One of the exercises is "morning pages". The practice is as follows. - three pages of handwritten text (typically on standard letter-sized or notebook paper) - Done immediately upon waking up before engaging with the outside world, screens, or daily tasks - Continuous stream-of-consciousness = You write whatever comes into your head, no matter how petty, silly, repetitive, or boring - Keep the pen moving. If you run out of things to say, write "I have nothing to write" or "and so it goes" until a new thought arrives. - They are not "art," polished writing, or a journal for others to see. You do not share them, and Cameron recommends not even rereading your own pages for at least the first eight weeks. I'm going to try this out. Thought others might want to try also. The purpose is to bypasses the "Inner Censor", clears mental clutter and unlocks creativity.
