Why You Should Write Even if You're Not a Writer. Day 7 of the 31 Day Writing Challenge

Creativity is not something you're born with. It comes easier to some people but it's like a muscle- it must be exercised for it to work.

Keeping your creative juices flowing is an easy and effective way to become more creative no matter what you do without doing extra work. Writing is one of the best avenues for that, plus it's helpful in many more ways.

One of the best ways to learn is to teach, and if you can’t teach- write.

Writing it down helps you remember things such as test materials and other important items, and it's the best technique to organize your thoughts and ideas.

The act of writing forces you to think deeply about a subject from more than one angle as you have to express your understanding in a well-constructed way rather than swim through a jumble of thoughts in your head. This leads you to discovering more about the subject from sheer curiosity and the need to present it with value.

Writing also boosts your self-confidence.

Writing gives you a moment in time to reflect and digest, and to think deeply in the present moment. It allows you to focus, and with regular practice you have more and better ideas and your thoughts are clearer and more concise.

To quote one of the most successful businessmen of all time, Richard Branson:

He states blogging is good for you in more ways than one:

Writing every day boosts your creativity, health, happiness, and even lowers anxiety and stress levels.

Do you need any more reasons to write? Just write :)
