And in today's edition of "My #MorningPages Demonstrate That My Brain is Totally Fine," I started writing about..... an attempted witch burning.

Excellent. Don't worry y'all, it's going to be a great Monday.

And that's a wrap on the holiday and my extended weekend. Back to work today. Here's a little something I wrote a while back about starting a morning writing routine. Works for me, might be time to give it a try.

My mornings.

On the deck with Halo, an iced coffee, and my journal (with a pack of pretty glittery color gel pens, obvs).

#NewHampshire #MorningPages

I decided to try out morning pages. I journaled for four hours. I stopped because it was no longer “morning”. I think this is not how it’s supposed to work. #journal #journaling #morningpages #journalingprompts

I experimented with my #morningpages this morning and wrote a character profile: why my parents wanted me to be.

...perhaps I should have saved that for the morning before therapy. It was uncomfortably eye-opening and made some of my shadow aspects painfully visible.

But it was also valuable. A little freaked out by the energy coming off the words, though; I did NOT expect a metaphysical result with that exercise and worried about what that means.

Need to get #DailyWriting out of the way because I need to change keyboard settings for work and it's a hassle to switch back and forth. Maybe some #FreeWriting / #MorningPages first, since I've been feeling a lot of anxiety about the writing as I approach the first big turn in the story.

I live in a #15MinuteCity so this morning I biked to the McDonald's nearby to do my #MorningPages.

I tend to walk rather than bike because it is just a pain to carry my bike up and down my apartment (there are no lifts) and I don't feel very safe biking.

But I will do it for #30DaysOfBiking 😁

About 2 years ago I built a habit of mindfulness meditation as a tool to help me get through the pandemic, and about 6 months ago I discovered 'Morning Pages'. This simple yet effective habit resulted in improved focus, and reduced anxiety.
I thought I'd share my experiences and a few tips for those interested in the practice - https://anthonyjohn.substack.com/p/morning-pages-can-change-your-life

For those of you who practice #MorningPages do you keep your notifications or throw them away? 🤔

Also, do you find it helpful to do them?

Opportunity / Needs / Accountability

These were the three most written words in my morning journal today. I didn’t place them together until afterwards, when all at once they jumped out as a private message from the Cosmos.

Thank you, divine mystery.

おはようございます。
#モーニングページ を毎朝やりつつ溜め込んだノートのストックを消化する、ということをやっています。
今日からはいただきもののMoleskine風のノート。今のところインク滲みも平気そう。
今日の #万年筆 は、ペリカンのターコイズのインクを入れたカヴェコクラシックスポーツ。どちらもドイツで買ったもの。
#Rollbahn は日本のノートだけどルフトハンザ風なので一緒に写ってもらいましたw

New #notebook for #MorningPages (the white one). Clean white Moleskine “like” notebook, tho it does a proper job so far.
Today’s #FountainPen is Kaweco Classic Sports with Pelikan turquoise ink , bought in Germany.
Rollbahn is actually JP brand but I put in the picture as it looks like Lufthansa lol

That annoying voice in my head tells me I'm never going to be a good enough #writer.
I am silencing it by writing!

Morning pages start. Southern Botanic Oracle, Tomatoes. Today’s pen is my Christmas gifted ystudio Resin inked with the starter cartridge because I had to order a converter. I really like the feel of this pen in the hand and the drag of the brass nib. My only small quibble is the cap doesn’t always stay put when ported.

Another beginning of the year, building a habit article. Hope it helps.

A synchronicity reading this poem this morning 👆

A friend suggested I try #TheArtistsWay by Julia Cameron. I'm familiar with the book - I've had periods of doing #MorningPages on and off over the years and absolutely see the value in that practice. But anytime I've tried to read the book through, I invariably get hung up on the spiritual aspect and can't move past the word God or continue reading. For...reasons...it troubles and distracts me...

1/?

Anyone else here doing 'The Artist's Way' to begin 2023? I'm in week two and it's going all right, though my hand really, really hurts from doing my morning pages each day.

I wrote about my experience with 'The Artist's Way' thus far in a new blog post. Check it out!
