Freeing up your creativity

Freeing up your creativity

In the book, An Artist's Way, Julia Cameron teaches the value of morning pages to free up your creativity: Writing three longhand pages first thing in the morning to unburden your mind.

A boost of confidence

Carving out some space to try new things can help us take risks in our art that we may not otherwise do.

Morning pages bring joy

The point of doing morning pages is the process, not whether the art is good or bad. In the process, we learn to love taking risks and trying new things to see what brings us joy.

Even if the art is "bad", we learn to embrace it for the process, the joy and the calm it brings to our day.
