Reasons to write down your daily thoughts June 9 Sunny comfortably cool California I always firmly believe that we are more creative when we begin to write something and we know ourselves better when we write down our thoughts. First, we must observe things and people around us during the daytime and we feel like saying something about them when the day is over. Sometimes the eagerness to express ourselves is so strong that we cannot help sitting down and then recording it, regardless on paper or on computer. Once we finish our writing, we feel more relaxed and even a sense of accomplishment. At first, we might find it difficult to be honest to ourselves and we tend to write something to show off, in the hope that others can see and then admire our life. However, if we keep paying close attention to what we truly feel, sooner or later we will express a true self and things we write down will be more touching. Second, writing is a good way to reflect back and look ahead. We have to grow with more wisdom and not only with age, so we have to learn lessons from our daily experience and remind ourselves to do better in the future. In this way, keeping a journal, whether it is on foods you recently had or places you just visited, is a nice way to remind you of enjoying living present moment. Third, writing can bring you more new ideas, which will keep your mind young and active. As you share your views on a topic by writing down your thoughts, you will probably meet like-minded people. You might want to read their articles related to this topic and more often not, you get inspired by various opinions. Once you take in different viewpoints, you become more tolerant and open-minded. In this information era, we have to get informed with accurate, fast and thought-provoking news to keep abreast of the time. PS: I am happy to live in this land where new ideas are welcome and creativity and innovation are highly valued. Besides, independence and freedom is always what people seek in their whole life. My son Mr. Joy develops a habit of taking a long nap in the afternoon and i just let him go. I believe he knows what his body needs and he is right to listen to his body. After all, a healthy body comes before a smart brain. Seeing my son sleeping such a sound sleep right now makes me happy, satisfied and grateful. Hi, dear, sweet dreams and enjoy!
