____ to my channel Good Habits! This is Regan, your podcast host.

Today, I’m going to talk about a way of starting the day that many people, ____ me, find enormously useful.

It’s a kind of ____ called “the morning pages.”

There is no age at which it ____ too late to form this habit.

I started eight years ago as a high school ____ and that’s why today’s episode is especially for my teenage subscribers.

The morning pages are three pages of “free writing,” ideally done first ____ in the morning.

The concept ____ simple. Get up every morning, pick up a pen and a notebook, and write whatever crosses your mind until you have filled three pages.

____ technique was originally developed to help writers and artists overcome a loss of creativity, but anybody can use it to create a better life.

There is ____ right or wrong way to write your morning pages, but there are two rules.

First, don’t judge your writing as good or ____

These pages are meant to be a “brain cleansing,” so don’t worry about ____ correctly.

Second, ____ your writing completely private.

It is important for you to write freely ____ honestly.

You’re even advised not to read your ____ yourself for weeks.

____ let me share the experiences of some people I interviewed.

David, a chef and kitchen ____ who has been writing morning pages for two years, says:

____ job tends to be very stressful.

When I started writing morning pages, I just wrote a lot of complaints ____ my hard life.

Later, I began to ask questions, like “What would make my ____ easier today?”

“How ____ I improve my recipes?”

Sometimes, I keep ____ questions until I reach a sort of “click moment.”

It feels ____ a door opening to great ideas.

Nowadays, I feel less stressed, ____ my job more, and am more productive.

Now, let’s listen to Yuna, ____ high school junior:

When I started this exercise last year, I ____ wrote random thoughts like this:

____ sleepy. A slight headache’s starting.

I ____ to finish the math assignment today …

I don’t know what more to ____ now.

____ soon I found I had deeper and deeper thoughts.

Now, I ____ start by writing about today’s tasks or worries.

After ____ I write about my dreams and how to move towards them.

I often come up with great plans and a clear sense of purpose to start ____ day.

Most importantly, I’m much ____ than before.

I can totally relate to these two people because their experiences are similar ____ mine.

Like Yuna, I started this journaling during ____ first year of high school.

At that time, I ____ lost, stressed, and unsure about the future, and it wasn’t easy for me to concentrate.

When ____ first tried writing three daily pages, I didn’t expect to stick to it.

But I did, and ____ changed my life!

____ my feelings onto paper every morning helped relieve my emotional tension.

____ gained more inner peace, which improved my schoolwork performance.

Like ____ I asked many questions, for instance,

“Why was I so ____ yesterday?”

____ are things less fun these days?”

Then, I ____ raising more challenging ones:

“What could make ____ happier right now?”

“What is my ideal future? Can I ____ it? How?”

Answering these ____ showed me what kind of person I was and what my needs, values, passions, and talents were.

More importantly, I came to know what I ____ wanted!

I remembered my childhood dreams of being a ____ songwriter, and radio host.

Gradually, vague ____ became clear plans.

Years later, here I am, a ____ podcaster and vlogger!

I’ve also ____ a book and a music album.

My morning pages, which I still write every day, have given me the drive and ____ to achieve these aims.

Dear subscribers, will you try writing your morning ____ too?

You never know what creative energy or ideas you have ____ you start exploring.

Don’t be a perfectionist, ____

If you miss a few days, simply open your ____ and start again!

The ultimate aim is to improve your mental health and ____ you lead a happier, more creative life.
