Ritual: Morning Pages

how I practice checking in with myself!

I picked the word RITUAL to focus on for 2024.

Why? Because I love a ritual.

Rituals keep me going.

They are my lifeline and today I’m sharing the ritual of….

Morning pages!

It was something I shared every morning last month with my paid subscribers on @shutterbean instagram! I gave myself a challenge to do morning pages for 33 days straight.

Here’s what the ritual looks like:

Here’s a little video of my ritual:

I use this template from my Time management printable pack to TYPE up my morning pages.

(if you’re a paid subscriber, scroll down for a link to free printable!)

I completed 33 consecutive days of at least 15 minutes per day and have a whole stack to prove it. I type out my train of thought on my typewriter.

Each page is dated & I wrote a little note at the top left so I had something to reference.

Sometimes I draw on the pages.

I make notes.

A few days after I completed my 33 days, I went through the pack and highlighted some of the things I wrote that stood out. Sometimes my train of thought is helpful for future use.

Have you done morning pages before? If not, I hope this inspires you to check in with yourself in the mornings with a MORNING PAGES ritual!
