As I discussed in a previous post, I had never had much luck with the Morning Pages, so decided to take more of a journaling approach.
Using questions that ask about joyful things, I let my writing bring out what might be bothering me under the surface. If I start to feel uncomfortable, I lean into it and seek what might be the troublesome root of my discomfort.
