When it comes to which one to do first, according to Julia Cameron… “Pages should come first. They tell you your concerns and point you towards actions you can take. Meditation by contrast, tends to talk you out of action. If you have a problem, you take it into Morning Pages, you will be given a sense of a possible next step. If you take the same problem into meditation, you may find yourself so spiritually “high” that no action seems necessary.”
This was a lightbulb moment for me!
Morning Pages = Action
Meditation = Balance
Both are important and both are needed as we strive to ever improve our lives, reaching higher and higher into what we are put here on this earth to do in this lifetime.
So, for me I have now moved Morning Pages as the first thing I do every day as part of my daily routine. It’s back as part of my solid foundation for checking in and building up a stronger drive and direction on where I am going and what I want to accomplish. I am even happier because of it.
Meditation has moved to the evening so that I am able to integrate my day and balance it all out. This also helps with having a tremendous night’s sleep.
Morning Pages have also been referred to as an active meditation, so for me, this combination works wonders and I feel I am getting the best of both worlds packed into one day.
Have you ever done Morning Pages or Meditation? How do you incorporate them into your daily life?
Hugs!
