Benefits of writing.

Hey, you! Yes, you! You went to school. You were taught to read and write. You learned the basic of grammar, right? Why not do a journal? Or, diary entry? Or, why not do blogging or any writing hobby?

Perhaps you think that writers recluse themselves, spend the whole day thinking of a topic and crumpling the not-so-good write-ups. So quirk a behavior of a writer. However, behind these gloomy impressions of being a writer are the benefits it gives.

Stress release. 
You are stressed because you think of many things. In order to eliminate those things that nip your head, stave off them by way of writing. Perhaps you heard this saying, “A problem shared is a problem halved.”

From Writing your Way to Happiness, "the scientific research on the benefits of so-called expressive writing is surprisingly vast. Studies have shown that writing about oneself and personal experiences can improve mood disorders, help reduce symptoms among cancer patients, improve a person’s health after a heart attack, reduce doctor visits and even boost memory."

Writing is a kind of a shoulder buddy. You express your sentiments through writing, perhaps a journal or what not, you release out the sentiments that cause you stress.

More productive. 
Do you end your day without doing anything? Why not write something.

Just to share, I am a kind of person who regrets a day if I don’t do anything. So, I write and write until I come up with this blogging idea. Is it productive? Yes! It is because "doing this you need to produce language," from Teaching English.

It means that by writing you develop your language skill which is basically the vehicle of communication. You become productive in a way that you learn how to express yourself better. In addition, you don't just write out of nowhere. You write because you have something to say. It's a wise thing to do.

Happy. 
From Writing Your Way to Happiness, “some researchers believe that by writing and then editing our own stories, we can change our perceptions of ourselves and identify obstacles that stand in the way of better health.”

This is true because from the time I did writing, I managed through the problems came to me, and I stretched out wide the way I look myself, God and the world.

You learn faster, and you boost your memory. 
It seems correct to say that if you can’t express what you learned, you didn’t understand at all what you learned. Expressing what you learned from school through writing can double or triple your understanding of the topic.

According to the study, 90% of what they learned will be remembered if they teach someone. This someone couldn’t be literally other person but could be you. I mean, in my own experience, every time I write I am learning first before others.

You write faster.
You nibble as slow as a turtle from your first draft. It is because you are still mindful of the correct grammar and of the better way of constructing a sentence. Every writer struggles that dilemma. However, when writing becomes your hobby, to your surprise, the grammar, the sentence construction, and the playful style turn to be a second nature to you when you write.

You express yourself better.
From Gregory Ciotti, quoting Judy Willis’ study about the benefits of writing for science and math, “writing brings more than literacy and communication advantages.”

In my case, I become mindful of my words whether they are good to mention or not. Moreover, I become mindful of my oral communication grammar.

A higher percentage of employment.
Adam Grant wrote “The Power of the Pen.” He mentioned here the study held by stefanie Spera and Eric Buhrfeind about a hundred engineers who lost their jobs from a computer company . According to the study, 26% of engineers were reemployed after three months of keeping a journal versus the 5% engineers who did not express in writing their deepest thoughts and feelings associated with losing a job.
