What do you like most about your writing? What do I like most about my writing? I never really thought about what I like about my writing before this prompt. Have you thought about it before? I think a good number of us just write and not necessarily think about why we write.

There may be different reasons why we right and the reasons do not really matter as much as the importance of writing does. Writing is beneficial for our well-being. Some of the benefits of writing things down include:

• Record everything that grabs your attention.
• Clears your mind.
• Clarifies your goals, priorities, and intentions.
• Recognize and process your emotions.
• Develop a sense of gratitude.
• Improves your memory.
• Relieves stress, depression and anxiety.
• Help improve your deep and critical thinking.

There are many more benefits of writing, however, I’ll let you find those out for yourselves. When I write things down it helps be to prioritize what I need to be focusing on and what I need to act on. I often will forget something I need to do if I do not write it down either on a notepad, or in my calendar. Writing down my thoughts helps to clear my mind. Most of the time I will sit and write near the end of my day. Sometimes I will write about my day, sometimes I will write about how I feel, or my thoughts on things that perhaps are confusing to me.

Writing things down in this day and age can take place in many different formats. It can be making a reminder note on a sticky pad, writing an email, or writing your thoughts down in a journal. It does not matter whether the journal is a book or an online journal. In a way a blog can be a type of journal. I write to share my thoughts with others. Everyone does not have to agree with me, after all they are my thoughts, my feelings, that I am sharing.

I do not often express what I am thinking or feeling out loud. It is easier for me to express and analyze what is on my mind if I write them down. I used to write in a physical journal all the time. Now I tend to use an online journal or a blog instead. So, what do I like most about my writing? I like the fact, the idea that I can express my thoughts without holding back. I can write about how I am feeling without judgment. Writing things down helps to relieve stress and frustrations from the day. It is also a way I can appreciate and be thankful for everything and everyone in my life.

Thank you for listening. Have a blessed day.
