Now when you think of a professional writer you probably think of a person who locks themselves away, hunched over a desk, with crumbled papers every where as they intensively write about their next novel.

But there’s a lot more to writing than just that. It isn’t just about stories, it’s about ideas being shared through thinking, creativity, and emotions. It’s the best way to communicate without being able to hear another person speak.

So here’s some great benefits why writing is great for:

*The happiness of writing*

Research about writing how you feel correlates to emotional levels. Just blogging your thoughts and feels about your day can have benefits akin to therapy.

Writing about your expressions will improve your mood and regulate your stress levels if you do it regular. Studies have shown that from Adam Grant, a professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

Writing about your achievements, dreams, and future endeavors have lead people to be happier and healthier. These also have shown those who write in a daily journal were more productive than those who didn’t.

There’s a correlation in those who don’t write have a hard time in communicating their feelings and thoughts.

In soft skills like emotional intelligence and hard skills such as using formulas in physics, people have shown to be more clear and be able to use complex ideas. This removes the ‘it sounded good in my head’ when read on paper.

Coping with difficult situations

In a study has shown that a person who has been fired from their job who regularly writes has been able to find a new job sooner than those who didn’t.

Adam Grant says “Those who wrote about their thoughts felt less anger about their former employer. They would also drink less which further decreases any anger or negative emotions.

One participate of the study said being able to write about a dark time in my life has helped him cope with the pain instead of just trying to forget about it. Now when he talks about it with people, he doesn’t feel as bad about it anymore.

It seems people who write regularly also do well because they choose to instead of forcing it. If you force yourself, you’ll resent it and not actually gain any benefits from it or rather become worse of.

This is because there is a lack of clarity in why you are writing in the first place. It can’t be a chore, but something you feel you need to do rather than just an option.

Gratitude in writing

As stated previously about those who wrote positively about their life, were overall more happier in how they saw things in their life.

The thing about this was they wrote about them every single day. The key here is to reflect and write regularly about what you can be happy about but not too often that it feels like a chore.

Your mental tabs

You know when you’re having too many internet tabs at once it turns into a massive mess of what you’re trying to look for? It becomes a way that juggles too much at once as evident by your computer’s ram getting filled up trying to remember it all too.

Writing is like closing the tabs you don’t need out of your mind and puts them down on paper. It allows you to not remember and ease your mind.

Ever have that fear of having a good idea and then just forgetting about it? Writing down helps that so you know it won’t be forgotten.

Writing down ideas just makes our minds feel less tired. It’s like if you want to remember a joke, you want to write it down, if you can’t at the moment then you might have to settle that it wasn’t funny enough to remember anyway.

Learning & writing

Now learning never stops in life despite what it may feel like since school. There is a reason why they made you write so often too.

It’s because information is easier to remember when you’re writing it. When you’re listening to music, podcasts, tv, your increasing information to write about in ways you can learn.

This creates a circle of ideas to write about it as well as entice research about what you
