I love the internet and all the great things that you can read on it. After reaching home from my horrible day, I decided I needed some inspiration, some daily dose of zenhabits, zenfitness, and I happened to stumble upon something called Morning Pages which is the brain child of Julia Cameron. You can check out this link to read more about it. (www.theartistsway.com) Morning Pages is a daily exercise where you fill out three pages of writing. You can write about anything, whatever you are thinking at that moment. This exercise is meant to release your creativity. It lets you off-load any worries, issues, things that may become a hindrance to your day.
When I was younger, many people have told me I was very creative, that I had great ideas. But as I have grown older, I feel as if I've lost that creativity. Lost it amongst the struggles of work and school, lost it amongst the ride that is life. Its sad that I have no creative outlet. When I see the people who write songs, poems, design clothing, I feel a big twang of jealousy, because I know I can do that too, because I want to be able to do those things too. Part of the reason why I opened up this account was so that I can find this creative outlet, this inner voice that used to be so loud.
So, I have decided to partake in this exercise of Morning Pages. Everyday for the next 12 weeks I will write three pages first thing I wake up. Maybe after emerging from this exercise, I will know who I am better, I'll be a song-writer, a poet, a novelist, or a painter.
We'll see... but I am kind of excited to wake up tomorrow morning.
Start date: February 22, 2010
End date: May 22, 2010 (my birthday... woo)
