25 Lessons From 1,000 Days Of Daily Writing
On September 28, 2022, I crossed 1,000 days of daily writing. (!)
And what an incredible feeling it was.
As I reflected upon that journey, the most important lesson that quickly came to mind was how beneficial daily writing has been for my mental health.
Each day I would sit to write, I gave myself permission (and the space) to process feelings, clarify thoughts, and reflect on experiences.
Pre-daily-writing I didn’t have this.
And now, I can’t imagine my mental state without it.
If you don’t already have a space in your life for processing feelings, clarifying thoughts, and reflecting on experiences—I can tell you right now, your mental state is being affected.
The benefits I have received have changed my life and I’m convinced that if you start a practice of your own — it’ll change your life as well.
This doesn’t have to be as committed as my process (published online, 7 days a week, 365 days per year)—although, it certainly could be. It can be simple, private, pen-and-paper, and just a few minutes each day or week.
But, the power of daily writing shouldn’t be undermined or overlooked.
