Some days are like this. Just going through the motions.
I’m talkin’ daily exercise, folks. Physical and mental.
That two-mile-walk-100-situp routine you do every day feels stale. The three-stream-of-conscious pages you’re writing down on paper every morning read rote. You’re dawdling during your mid-day meditation. You’re preparing Hamburger Helper for dinner –again.
Lots of a daily practice may not seem authentic, yet it’s a practice nonetheless. Little parts that add up to a whole.
If you’re feeling like you’re going through the motions today, keep your eyes on the prize.

Sometimes it’s like that for me with the Morning Pages. I feel like I’m just going through the motions. But I do see the value when I keep at it.
Hi Sonia-
I’ve been writing Morning Pages since 1993 – the first time I read The Artist’s Way. There’s an ebb and flow to them, just like what happens with the thoughts in your head.
I used to get all stressed about it; now I simply go with the flow.
Thanks for reading!
True! It’s funny, I was actually writing about ebb and flow in my MPs this morning.
