We’ve all heard it. “Some day, I’m going to write a book or create a blog.” Most people say they would love to have their own book or blog. They have plenty of stories from their vast life experiences. Or, maybe you are the creative type that can create spell-binding fiction? But then again… maybe not! Chances are, you have some great ideas, thoughts or stories to put down…but an entire book is not in the plans. That’s why it’s great to have a blog!
The good news is: getting in the routine of writing just a little bit every day has many great benefits. And you don’t have to be a professional writer to attain them. Here’s a list of several great benefits you can reap by writing just a little bit every day:
1. The best way to learn new things! If you think back to when you were in school, you may remember some teachers advising you to re-write your notes everyday from class. Many teachers advise this, but few explain why you should do it. Well, here’s why: The physical act of writing something down dramatically helps you remember that information. The theory is that it engages more of your senses than just reading. Some actually say that the act of writing something down helps the information go directly into the subconscious brain and become “accepted.” If you want to learn the lyrics to a song – write them down several times. If you want to memorize your friend’s phone number (an extinct skill with the evolution of cell phones!!!), write it down a few times. And if you want to learn to become a good writer, copy free-hand some of the works of the great authors. No matter what topic you write about, you will learn all kinds of new and interesting things simply by the act of writing.
2. The Great Stress Reliever! Many have called writing the “great escape.” And one must agree. No matter how hectic or crazy your day is, when you sit down to write… everything else disappears. It’s just you, the pen, paper and your imagination. This is one of the best stress relievers you can think of. Writing can have many of the benefits of stress reduction seen in meditation that clears the mind. And meditating before writing is the best of both worlds!!! Make no doubt about it: stress kills. And, any way you can reduce it should be pursued. Finding a quiet spot and writing for 20-30 minutes a day could have a great impact on your mental and overall well-being.
3. Increases your communication skills! Whatever you do not use, deteriorates and whatever you practice, gets better. This includes you communication skills. Writing is one of the best ways to communicate better. Not only in terms of written communication – but in all aspects of communication. Ever sit down to write a simple letter or email and “freeze up?” This is often called writer’s block. The more you write, the less this will happen to you. And the more you write, the more you will say with fewer words and in a shorter time.
4. Make some extra money! This is not for certain, but who knows. If you write for 20-30 minutes everyday, in a year you will have an amazing amount of information in your blog. And you might be surprised to discover that knowledge that is common to YOU… is not common to OTHERS and some will pay for it. More than one writer has gotten their start this way. So, start writing and you never know what will happen!
