I haven't read The Artist's Way for about 10 years, returning to it at the start of a fresh year has felt wonderfully supportive and grounding. Anything that highlights spirituality in art does it for me. 12/10 recommend that any creative wake up each morning to journal for three pages (min). This is coming from a "dear diary" kid tho so take my proposed ease with the practice with a grain of salt.

I make photo albums of the polaroids I take of my friends, work, and travels. I love having a physical object that can bring back so many memories. Like many, reading the book The Artist's Way helped me find ways to connect to myself and my art. I adopted the practice of "Morning Pages" which is writing three pages in a journal stream of consciousness style to empty your mind of cluttered thoughts before you get into your day. This has helped my anxiety levels and enhanced my focus so much. I love reading them back after enough time has passed to reflect on what has worried me and remind myself that all things must pass.

For a year while i traveled i wrote minimum 3 pages but at night before sleeping. It helped me rest and curb phone addiction. It takes me time to write and id do it until i couldnt keep my eyes open. My words would get jumbled and sincere by then. Im usually rushing in the morning or time blind, transitioning from my sleep body is hard, but journaling after waking is potent too. I tend to start out writing what i think i should write, then just dumping stream of consciousness style, and then usually am called to write down affirmation-y things between. I also will write over pages in my sketchbook as my art comes to me as words sometimes first :^)
