Set your alarm to wake up a half-hour earlier than usual every morning; get
up and do three pages of longhand, stream-of-consciousness morning writing.
Do not reread these pages or allow anyone else to read them. Ideally, stick
them in a large manila envelope, or hide them somewhere. Welcome to the
morning pages. They will change you.
List below a few creative affirmations from Week One that have particular
significance for you. Also below, copy any “blurts” from your morning pages
—those negative statements about yourself and your life that tend to crop up
in each day’s morning pages. Convert these blurts into positive affirmations.
Tasks
An affirmation is a strong, positive statement that something is already so.
