As we navigate what is considered a "new normal", our ability to move forward with our creative practice is imperative for our well-being.  In addition ito other daily activities, a morning pages or journaling practice is one way to stay centered and connect to our creative muse. 

The phrase "morning pages" was made popular by Julia Cameron, the best-selling author of the book The Artist's Way in the early 90s.  Morning pages are a stream-of-consciousness longhand journaling which is done first thing every morning on a daily basis.   The idea is use the writing to as a mind "dump" of any thoughts that come out of your head as a way to start your day on a clean slate.  Julia Cameron, created this approach to journaling as a way for people to spark their creativity and move past their creative blocks. 

"Writing in a journal is an act of self-expression that is done periodically to record feelings and inspire ideas. Morning pages serve a deeper purpose. This type of journaling is a cathartic, ritualistic writing process that clears your mind, builds confidence, and creates a path for greater creativity."-Masterclass.com

Whether you choose to write the morning pages or some kind  of daily journaling  practice, there are four benefits for maintaining this kind of ritual:. 

1.  A daily writing practice helps  you to clear your mind.

2.  sA daily writing practice  helps you to process emotion.

4. A daily writing practice can help  silence your inner critic.
