Sitting down to finally write morning pages knowing full well it's going to be about what you don't want to write about, and instead finding yourself writing about that and three other things you didn't even know were still bothering you...

currently working through the artist’s way, and morning pages have quickly become a fav. It’s a steam-of-thought/get everything on the page daily habit. I find it’s great to just get the momentum going if I want to work but I’m stuck on what to do (you can even think through this conflict on the page and brainstorm solutions or figure out why you don’t feel like it). I like to also look through stuff I wrote previously if I had any good ideas I didn’t know what to do with at the time.

Before you guys ask, yes I’ve been doing the morning pages from “The Artist’s Way” LOL Real talk though, the structure of the book has been super helpful in structuring my own creative process, and one of the best possible things it’s done for me so far is to learn how to write and create, even when you’re “not in the mood” or you’re mentally blocked. On the days I can’t think of shit, I just start rambling about gossip and chairs and people watching (or whatever misc thing is on your mind) and all of a sudden a new project idea hit me out of some random association in my brain from years ago that I never touched til now Anyway yeah, GO WRITE AND CREATE EVEN IF YOU DONT FEEL LIKE IT bc you’ll be surprised at what finds you!!!

was gonna write One sentence down just to remember an idea that i wanted to expand on later... and ended up writing 5 pages of admittedly incoherent blabbering, but 5 pages of valuable insight nonetheless! love it when the pen just tells me what to write

It's Ranch. The cap comes off to hold change. Larger compartment in the back. Second pattern I've written and so proud

For over a year I had the "world's tiniest ruggedized phone". I don't remember the brand but I bet you can google it. Regardless, I still found myself using Instagram and Facebook on the tiny little screen 🥲. When they say social media is made to be addictive I fully believe it. App blockers, making my screen grey scale after 6pm, none of it works. I delete the settings, I remove the blocker. The best things I've done for myself that is SO much easier said than done is 1. remove the thing from your life that you're trying to avoid and/or 2. Embrace the thing you're trying to avoid. For me 1. Was a terrible job and 2. Was silence and boredom
