It turns out that writing is better for
you than thinking. At first glance,
writing doesn’t seem much different than thinking. Thinking however, can often be somewhat
chaotic. Writing is different. Writing encourages story lines, structure,
and making sense of things. Writing
leads to solutions.
And it doesn’t even have to be very much
writing. Expressing gratitude, in
writing, for a few minutes daily can increase your happiness, and
optimism. Writing about a perfect/ideal
future is another winning activity, far and above visualization. You can even boost good
vibes about your love life with affectionate writing.
Happiness might lie in a little time
with pen and paper. Write and be
grateful. Write and describe your best
possible future. Write and remember all
the reasons you care for someone. Each
of these three assignments is a simple procedure but all have been proven to have huge
impacts.
Best of all, the words that you write
are permanent. You can read them
later. You can share them.
