How I clear my mind every week (it's not meditation) | The Artist's Way (Week 9)

Every week I dance for 90 minutes with no choreography. Just whatever my body needs to say. It's not meditation. It's not therapy. But it's probably more powerful than both. This is Week 9 of The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron. The theme is compassion. And what I'm learning is that compassion without action means nothing. You have to embody the knowledge, not just collect it. In this video: 💡 Why I combine morning pages + movement every week ✏️ The quote that changed how I think about anxiety: "You're not dysregulated. You're under-expressed." 🗣️ How asking your body questions out loud is different from overthinking 🤓 What rereading 9 weeks of morning pages revealed about my patterns 💃 PS : I was dancing to Wrangler by Claudia Valentina during the session. Had to swap it for a copyright-free track in the video though. 🎥 Week 9 | Next: Recovering a Sense of Self-Protection (Week 10) 📖 The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron (12-week creative recovery program) I'm Donovan.
