RE: My Morning Pages Practice

in #writing7 years ago

Very interesting - never heard of this as a practice - are you supposed not to 'think' about it and is there a recommended time limit for the practice - doing something like this in the morning is a great way to start the day. Personalky I just 'sit' for 20 mins.

Inteteresting that you review the day in the evening - now that I'm getting close to quitting my job thus might be less painful so I might start doing this.

Sort:  

yes, no thinking although that's unavoidable in my experience, just letting yourself write as easily as you can. No time limit, the limit is on the number of pages, for a long time I was just trying to get to the end of the third page as soon as possible. I would heartily recommend reading and working through the whole book, it's helped me reframe my work as a spiritual act.

I sit as well, but that's 'cos I'm a super-advanced (self-unemployed) being. tee-hee :D

My evening review is very informal, usually just a quick "How did I do today? Any major harm done? Anything to pat myself on the back about?"
