Today, I’m introducing you to "Morning Pages," a transformative practice developed by Julia Cameron in "The Artist's Way." This simple yet profound exercise helps you tap into mental and emotional honesty. When navigating divorce, we often tell ourselves we shouldn't feel certain emotions or we pretend they don't exist. Morning Pages creates a private space to acknowledge everything without self-contempt. What emerges on these pages isn't "truth," just thoughts that need release.
What makes Morning Pages uniquely powerful for divorce recovery is that it functions as both a mindfulness practice (clearing mental clutter) and a somatic practice (calming your nervous system).
Letting go rarely happens in a single moment. It's a process requiring consistent practice, which is why incorporating Morning Pages into your daily routine may gradually release what you've been holding onto.
In this episode you’ll learn:
- What Morning Pages is.
- How it’s a practice in both mind (mindfulness) and body (somatic regulation)
- How to practice Morning Pages
- Letting go is a process, not a one-time event
- How to have compassion with yourself as you get better at this practice
