There is not a single day in which we do not confront ourselves with the good old written word. Be it in newspapers, text messages our on our Facebook feed. Some days we just feel like writing. Others we cannot stand the blank page.Writing is also very important. In fact, it is a need. We need to write our groceries list as well as our Phd thesis. Our mortgage loan contract is written, our favorite movie was written. Aside from the fact that writing is an inescapable part of every day life, there are many good reasons you should make a good session of writing part of your daily routine, even if it’s just a few hundred words.

Remove stress from your mind, place it on paper

Writing can be relaxing, even therapeutic. It can be a way to drain all the pending frustrations bothering your mind into a far less volatile form, paper (or screen). You can address your anger, fear, worry and stress without menacing the person who embodies those emotions for you with a paperweight.

Writing can serve as a form of stress relief where you finally get to say what you can’t say out loud, in real life. Just don’t let your overwhelming feelings get into the wrong hands, or you may end up paying some pretty hefty blackmail cash.

Download Your Mind

Writing daily gives you the opportunity to sweep your mind for forgotten tasks and ideas that have been fermenting in the back of your head without your knowledge. It allows you to take the unorganized thoughts floating around your head and turn them into clear and actionable plans and actions.

This is the fundamental principle that the download is based on: getting everything you can think of out of your head, and into a written format. This simple process can save your life when things are getting overwhelming and complicated.

Sharpen Your Writing Skills

Write frequently in order to keep your writing skills sharp. Like any skill, the ability to communicate clearly, concisely and aesthetically can be affect without regular practice. As a result, many people who don’t write regularly can freeze up on something so simple as an email to a friend.

Writing every day, even just for a few, unplanned words, will maintain and gradually improve your writing skills, and since dealing with the written word is a fundamental part of daily modern life, there’s nothing bad about that.

Better Input = Better Life

Get away from the constant low-quality input. Day-to-day talks can be tiring and are often useless. By reducing your exposure to such environments, you can benefit tremendously. You receive and create barrages of useless distractions that don’t help you or the people you know; sitting down to write lets you get away from it all.

It’s important to keep the noise to a minimum so you can focus on creating and receiving material that truly resonates with you, things that are really worth reading and writing.

Get to know yourself better

In our fast-paced world it’s easy to forget things like what you believe in and what you’re doing this (whatever this may be) for. Allowing words to flow out of your brain can introduce you to a part of yourself you’d been blocking from yourself to cope with everyday life. Why did you start down the path you’re currently on? This is an important question whether you consider your current path to have begun on the weekend, or a decade ago.

Unhappiness and discontentment often come from forgetting the purpose we’re doing something and it is important to keep those simple reasons at the forefront of your mind or you run the risk of letting your life become a series of boring, unfulfilling serie of events.

It’s not only crucial to remind yourself of the reasons for your current actions; it’s important to track your actions to see if they align with your life goals so that you can change them. Sometimes, the only way to keep such a close monitor on your actions and goals is to write about them every day.
