Unleashing Creativity: Morning Pages and Beyond with Vanessa Castro
Using our creativity is our gift back to god.
Feeling stuck in your creative journey? Vanessa Castro's second episode of 'The Journey to Creativity' might just be the nudge you need. This time, Vanessa dives into the transformative practice of 'morning pages'—a simple yet powerful exercise where you write three pages of longhand, stream-of-consciousness thoughts every morning. She shares how this practice has helped her connect with her inner child and remove mental clutter, allowing for a more genuine creative flow. But that's not all.
Vanessa also introduces three activities from the first two chapters of 'The Artist's Way' that can help you dig deeper into your creative soul. You'll learn about identifying your 'monsters'—those negative voices that hold you back—and celebrating your 'heroes', the positive influences that uplift you. Plus, she emphasizes the importance of positive affirmations and how they can shift your mindset from doubt to confidence.
Vanessa's storytelling is both heartfelt and practical, making this episode a must-listen for anyone looking to break free from self-imposed limitations. She encourages listeners to embrace their creative journey, trust the process, and welcome compliments with gratitude. So grab your coffee, settle in, and get ready to explore new tools that could unlock your artistic potential.
