Select one small item from the list of ten changes and make it a goal for this
week. At week’s end, describe your results below.
- How many days this week did you do your morning pages?
(We’re hoping seven, remember.) How was the experience for you? How
did the morning pages work for you? Describe them (for example, “They
felt so stupid. I’d write all these itty-bitty disconnected things that didn’t
seem to have anything to do with one another or with anything”).
Remember, if you are writing morning pages, they are working for you.
What were you surprised to find yourself writing about? Answer this
question in full on your check-in page. This will be a weekly self-scan of
your moods, not your progress. Don’t worry if your pages are whiny and
trite. Sometimes that’s the very best thing for you. - Did you do your artist’s date this week? Remember that artist’s
dates are a necessary frivolity. What did you do? How did it feel? - Were there any other issues this week that you consider
significant for your recovery? Describe them.
