Something that people often forget is that the "old masters" were at some time in the same position as we are ... they weren't born "old masters" and suffered from the same insecurities that we mere mortals have and had to rise above their limitations, self-imposed or otherwise.<br />
I'm with you Marie, let our selves shine out and ignore what other people may think.

Dear Peni, I also did Morning pages for a while during a difficult time of my life. It was very therapeutic. Just have to make sure that your inner censor keeps his mouth shut :-) and you just write whatever comes to mind with no holding back about anything. Paralell with writing, I found some good spiritual writings as well that helped me lot.

Boy do I need all of that advise. I havn't really had control of my own life for a good 4 yrs now. Others did that for me. (Long unessasary story). I've been painting beautiful paintings so that I could stay busy filling this big deep dark hole of lonelyness. Great paintings but for the wrong reason. I know that it will all work out in my best interest at some point. And I think that this knowledge of "The Morning Pages" sounds like a really "get back to myself" idea. Thank you very much. I…

I just posted a painting called "Early Morning" The morning pages sounds like a name for a painting also.

Carole, I'm not doing it as religiously as I used to, but I'm doing a lot of "other" writing. Now you've encouraged me to get back into the routine. I have less frustration to put on the pages since my life is more stress free. As an aside - it's much cheaper than psychiatric fees! Let me know how it works for you.

Absolutely, Peni. If possible, when you first get up in the morning, before doing anything else, write three pages in a "cheap" notebook about whatever comes into your mind - your random thoughts - don't hold back, just write to free your mind. Let off steam on the page! Don't let anyone see what you've written. After a period of time go back and read what you've written and you will see the things that have been interfering with your creativity. Then tear up your notes if you feel it is unwise…
Absolutely, Peni. If possible, when you first get up in the morning, before doing anything else, write three pages in a "cheap" notebook about whatever comes into your mind - your random thoughts - don't hold back, just write to free your mind. Let off steam on the page! Don't let anyone see what you've written. After a period of time go back and read what you've written and you will see the things that have been interfering with your creativity. Then tear up your notes if you feel it is unwise to keep them. This really works. After I started doing this, I found myself being more creative in every part of my life. I suppose you could say it's a cleansing way to free up your creativity. It also helps you let go of the things you can't change - past hurts, mistakes, etc.<br />
Good luck to you. (If you can't do it in the early morning before you start your day, find your next best time.) can someone tell me what the…tag:thecompleteartist.ning.com,2010-09-04:2450081:Comment:110272010-09-04T14:30:17.000ZPeni Bakerhttp://thecompleteartist.ning.com/profile/PenelopePitstop

Carole, thanks for writing. The Artists Way has changed many lives. The most useful tip for me was writing the morning pages which led to the publishing of my three novels and many essays. BTW I love your paintings. Keep those brushes dancing!
