Morning Pages – Stream of Consciousness vs Journaling (What’s the Difference?)

What’s the difference between stream of consciousness writing and journaling — and which one are you really doing in your Morning Pages?

In this video, I answer a brilliant viewer question about the fine line between writing to process thoughts and writing to let go of control. We’ll talk about why “stream of consciousness” is a skill worth developing — and why it might take time to unlearn all those rules about neatness, structure, and “good writing.”

You’ll learn:
🧠 The difference between stream of consciousness, journaling, brainstorming, and brain-dumping
✍️ How to let go of control and stop filtering your thoughts
⚡ Why it’s okay if your pages are messy, chaotic, and make no sense
🪞 How freeing yourself from rules can unlock deeper creativity and self-awareness
💭 And why it’s not about perfection — it’s about permission

So if you’ve ever wondered, “Am I doing Morning Pages right?” — this video is for you.
