I have been writing morning pages daily for nearly three months, and it has been quite a revelation! The thing about writing them is, it is a bit of a struggle, but truth be told, everything in the book is coming true. The fact that writing morning pages helps one unblock ones creativity, even though it seems like reverse psychology. The thing is writing three whole pages of text/prose works its magic on you. It also has some elements of CBT.
This is a pic somebody's personal thoughts about her experience of the book entitled 'The Artist's Way'. This is an awesome book and the concept of morning pages is truly something else. It truly takes alot of effort to write three whole pages of text every day, but the journey even though a little difficult is worth it because it leads to some rather astonishing revelations about our subconcious thought processes and find clarity in life
pickYesterday‘s op shop finds after work. Much less than usual which is probably a good thing. I loved SARK as a late teen. God knows where those books are. I‘ve had a life so I buy them again when I find them in the wild. The other book is to encourage my 14 year old, fishing mad nephew to read. I liked the glittery look of the scourers. Anything to help me enjoy cleaning! The bath salts, I save up for when I can next steal somebody‘s bath. Mum‘s?
You do not need to work to become spiritual. You are spiritual; you need only to remember that fact. Spirit is within you. God is within you. -Julia Cameron
pickIf you‘re a Succulent Wild Woman-raise your hand!🙋🏻♀️I‘ve always loved SARK & her invitation to live an authentic, juicy life & celebrate our marvelousness! Had this book since 1997. Then SARK added 4 new chapters & gave us the 25th Anniversary Edition. Finally read them both! Now I‘m ready to honor my wildness, dance with my wonder-full self & celebrate my gorgeous friendships with all my succulent friends. How about you?💃🏻

Julia Cameron's philosophy has helped me understand that the ability to be artistic comes more naturally than one would think. Cameron believes that the “refusal to be creative is self-will and counter to our true nature.“ In other words, we all possess an inner creativity; we just willingly choose to block ourselves from that impulse. Her course is meant to help us unlock the artist that lives within each and every one of us.
“The book called 'The Artist's Way' helped me face my fears around trying new things and gave me a better framework to live with the vulnerability and uncertainty that comes with life.“
Many of us wish we were more creative. Many of us sense we are more creative but unable to tap effectively into that creativity. Our dreams elude us. Our lives seem somehow flat. Often, we have great ideas, and wonderful dreams, but we are unable to actualize them for ourselves. Sometimes we have specific longings we would love to be able to fulfil by learning to play the piano, painting, acting, or writing.
I am reading this incredible book. It sure has some interesting truths in it, such as how writing 3 whole pages of handwritten content can boost your creativity. It also tells you other nice things such as the importance of nurturing that creativity. One way of doing so is by going on Artist's Dates. There are also other things in first chapter worth noting, which somewhat interested me, and surprised me as well.
