What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail? -Dr. Robert Shuller |
Completing this goal (DE 11/09) was a glorious pat-on-the-back for me! (Truth be told I’m still Very pleased with me.) What’s even better is that I have continued since then to do 3 long hand, stream-of-consciousness pages every single day:) … even though I didn’t have to!!!
I haven’t committed to doing another year of Pages every day. The pressure of every-single-day for another 365 (okay 355, at this point) is just too big for me to want to take on, right now. I have other goals that need total commitment. After all there’s only so much time in a day and my plate, like everyone’s is really full. (For me, Morning Pages takes 30 – 45 minutes to do.)
Doing Morning Pages, at this time, is kind of keeping me in the habit for hosting the next Julia Cameron 12 week program – Walking in this World. We’re doing the meet & greet on TH JA 21/10 and then starting the following Thursday. This time, some of the artist’s are participating via Skype. Soooooooo exciting:))
That program too requires a commitment of Morning Pages, weekly Artist Dates and weekly Walks. I kinda figure I’m ‘on a roll’ at this point. I’ll just keep trying to ride the momentum – at least until Walking in this World is complete – AP 15/10.
Oh! I forgot. The end of Walking in this World, like The Artist’s Way challenges each artist to keep the ‘Basic Tools’ which includes Morning Pages for 90 days after the end of the program. By then I’ll be more than 6 months with this! Then, my Self will be talking me into “Well, a year and a half. Ya might as well go for a full 2 years.” (Be quiet. I don’t want to hear that.)
