So as you see, I enjoy writing my morning pages at least
three times per week. It helps me de-clutter. Another technique I came across is combining a little
meditation, writing and doodling! I got this idea from the book The Creative
Journal by Lucia Capacchione.
Take a few moments to think what kind of a time this is for
you. Ask yourself the question, Where am I at in my life right now?
Close your eyes and meditate on your life at
present. Watch to see if anything immediately springs up. If not think about things
like, is it a hectic time? a calm
period? a time of crisis? a time of
change? a dull or boring time? Think about a particular event or experience that marks the beginning of the period. Think
about the main characteristics of this time.
Then draw any images, colours, forms or doodles that reflect
where you are at in your life at this time. (It is sometimes enjoyable to have some
relaxing music in the background)
The final step is to write about this period.
An extra think I do is to finish the drawing, then do the writing and then I write about the drawing. I write what each thing in the drawing represents. Surprising things often crop up
I find this exercise really interesting as it is a great way to take stock of
where you are. You also have the opportunity to connect with your inner feelings and consider options for change etc.
