What Writing Can Help Us Do
14 things writing can help us do from The Power of Writing It Down by Allison Fallon
1. Name our experience so we can more fully understand it.
2. Give language to the future we want to create so it stops feeling vague and begins to seem achievable.
3. Build a bridge (neural pathways) between the now we’re experiencing and the future we’d like to create.
4. Heal and engineer our own resilience from past experience.
5. Find perspective for life’s challenges, large and small.
6. Invent brand-new solutions for age-old problems.
7. Build our confidence.
8. Increase our working memory and overall cognitive power.
9. Cultivate more gratitude and contentment.
10. Provide clarity for our decisions.
11. Increase satisfaction in our romantic partnerships.
12. Level up our immune system, help us sleep better, etc.
13. Combat and curb anxiety, stress, and depression.
14. Tune out the well-meaning and critical voices around us so we can finally understand what we think.
I take writing things down very seriously. So seriously that I build a program where I write everything down. I wrote this down there. I also remembered this list there. I use it to journal, plan my days, set goals, take notes, work on routines, set reminders… it’s the most useful program I use, and I hope you’ll give it a try (it’s free).
