Ilustration Toward Books The Miracle of the Morning Pages Journal: Everything You Always Wanted to Know about the Most Important Artist's Way Tool

This slim little book has changed my life.

We all strive to live more intentional lives. To have all the moments of each day add up to something more than just reaction to what circumstance puts in front of us. Especially in adulthood, when our lives become less dreamy and more confined than our younger selves ever anticipated, it feels like we merely abide by whatever our calendars, to-do list, email and vibrating phones tell us to do. How to reclaim the idealism and creativity of our youth and temper it with the experience and maturity of adulthood?

My first attempt was meditation. I tried to silence all the noisy, reactive thoughts bubbling around in my brain so that I could experience the reality around me with fresh eyes, with a "beginner's mind." It worked, to a degree. But something was missing. I was suppressing thoughts, aspirations and anxieties instead of processing them.

This very simple book has given me another step that has made all the difference: three little pages of journaling first thing in the morning to get it all out on paper first, and then meditate with a clear, rested mind.

Morning Pages are about action. Unlike conventional meditation, which may lull you out of taking action, the pages magnify our discontent, pointing out actions we could take. The pages tend to point out our many choice points. We are egged on to increased honesty and candor. Our life becomes our own. We no longer sell ourselves out, giving our time and energy to others’ agendas. We have a choice whether to invest in others or ourselves. Investing in ourselves is novel for many of us.

If you have a problem and you take it into Morning Pages, you will be given a sense of a possible next step. If you take the same problem into meditation, you may find yourself so spiritually “high” that no action seems necessary.

These three, daily "morning pages" amount to a conversation with ourselves. But that conversation is typically like a bunch of random text messages. This morning exercise helps us place them into a narrative and spot the patterns that emerge over time.

Day by day, pages tutor us. We learn to act in our own best interests. We stop being victims of circumstance. A choice at a time, we begin to craft a life that reflects our authentic values. Rather than sitting on the sidelines critiquing the game, we start to participate.

Maybe Morning Pages aren't for everyone. But if you're curious, it's worth at least giving it a shot.

Great reminderInspirational. I know how amazing Morning Pages are. I have done over 90 days of Morning Pages by the beginning of 2015 (on paper). They led to great things... until I allowed myself to believe I could write then on my mac. Then I write less, skipped days and lost the habit entirely. This book was a nice reminder to write "offline" again and reap the rewards of this creative habit. Thank you, Julia!

I came across this book through a list of non-exercise things one can do for self-care, intrigued by the idea of 750words.com. In some ways a little too sentimental for my taste (and probably too much to do each day to be realistic for me), it offers a compelling case for spending more time confronting one's thoughts on the page every day.

AmazingRereading after 20 years. Looking forward to my morning pages for 2020 and beyond. Highly recommend. Need to work on my Artist Dates.

Nice to read when you are free for an hour

Helpful, but very repetitive. A large section of the book is dedicated to readers with children. Had I known, I probably wouldn't have ordered the book.

Another great read by Julia Cameron. I've been using morning pages as a tool for over a year now. I first discovered it through another one of her books. I had no idea what I was in for and now having read this book I've gotten more clarity on what morning pages truly are, and what they will mean to my life going forward.

Best book as an introduction to writing. This book has encouraged me to write every single morning.... it's been a year and a half writing every morning and I'm happy that it has provided the kind of awareness I have always wanted in my life.
