Morning and Evening Pages

Morning and Evening pages is an application to assist users in creating a morning and evening ritual of intention setting, gratitude and reflection.

This application pages was designed to encourage and implement the use by daily practice, conscious focus and repetition to create new neural pathways leading to conscious living and away from subconscious reactivity. Throughout our hasty lifestyles our attention and focus is constantly being directed from our goals and intentions as we are bombarded by the latest media driven fear and the continuous perceived threat to our survival. While technology has enhanced our lives in many ways, I believe that it can be more beneficially used to create and develop mindfulness and healthier perspectives of our world.
