We have mentioned Morning Pages before, but Gina has also been experiencing the powerful creative space that they can bring. Paul and Gina talk about using this technique to really get your creative juices flowing!

    Hi Paul, Sam and Gina, I have started doing my morning pages again after getting out of the habit, thanks for reminding me! Funnily enough it’s been very easy getting back into it.

    It’s funny how both Sam and Gina have mentioned ‘The artist’s way’ and another book I read (Simple Abundance) mentioned it too. I have put it on my wish list for Christmas and am going to buy a copy for my mum too (who is an artist).

    I think you would really enjoy reading ‘Simple Abundance’ (it is for women but there is a men’s version too that I have bought for Andy for Christmas ……. don’t tell him)

    Hi Stephie, I’ve been doing my morning pages for just over 1 week now and I’m really starting to appreciate them. I’ve been talking to a few other people via twitter that also rave about them. I downloaded the audio version and I’m about half way through it at the moment, I wanted to take my time to absorb the information rather than just have it play for a couple of hours without really paying it proper attention.
    Don’t worry I won’t tell Andy, your secret is safe with me, the listeners, anyone that views this webpage….. etc so don’t worry :-)

    Thanks Paul, it’s a good job I trust you all!

    How do I find the audio version? I’ve had a search but no luck so far.

    Thanks for the link, I’ve got it now. I’ve listened to about a quarter of it so far as, like you, I don’t want to rush and not absorb all the information.

    I think you have to move along your line of creativity and accept everything that happens, making something beautiful out of what has come before. There is no time for judgement in a performance sport and letting your creativity soar requires that same kind of unstoppable momentum. Inspiration comes in packages that we don’t always recognize. Those “mistakes” are incredible opportunities to make something completely new, to experience the exhileration of going out on that limb where you must trust beyond what you know, and the strong feeling of confidence that comes with being able to make something out of anything without any need to justify it beyond the obvious- that it is yours and you are both allowed and encouraged as it is the gift we humans have been given. Create. It’s good.

    The men’s version of simple abundance is not the same at all….. we found it incredibly depressing…..

    [...] Morning pages – I use either good old fashioned pen and paper, or I have a couple of iPhone apps that I use. They are EverNote and ShapeWriter. [...]
