Morning Pages — The self-care exercise
My experience on Morning Pages
Why I started to write Morning Pages
I started to write morning pages in April 2019. It wasn’t a thought-out decision in search of a new direction or anything. My little one started to wake up at 5 in the morning, along with me, preventing me from practicing yoga. The moment he sees me in a yoga pose, he either climbs on top of me or crawls under me, bringing the peaceful balancing act to a complete stop.
So that day when I couldn’t practice yoga, I decided to write morning pages instead. After all, I’d been reading about this magical tool in the book, The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron. I didn’t plan on writing that early as my morning time was already full, with yoga practice and studying for a test. Plus, I was already writing on journal every day that I didn’t feel the need to suffocate my morning time with too many activities.
