GM Nostr!

I've started the artist's way and can I just say morning pages are emotional torture for me! It is just dredging up a LOT of unpleasantness first thing in the morning for me and then it's hard to shake the melancholy note the rest of the day. Other people seemed to get frustrated or bored with them and for me it's just like deep deep sadness and depression coming out. I try so hard to be positive and I wish it wasn't such an uphill battle. I guess it's pointing me in the direction I need to work to clear my path but yeesh.

Has anyone else done the artist's way? Any advice on morning pages? Any pep talks would be appreciated!

Spirituality and creativity are so closely linked and both are so important to a sense of deep purpose in life. I know, I know, that if I want good things to come to me I have to do the work. Wouldn't it be nice if the work wasn't hard? Wouldn't it be nice if I could lounge around fat and happy eating bonbons and have the good things come to me? Blerg. Ok rant over back to doing the hard work I know I should do.
