15 Reasons Why You Should Blog

I have embraced several hobbies in my life from childhood. Like most children that grew up in my time and neighborhood, I was into tennis, art, video games, soccer, cricket, cards among others. One of these changed my life completely and gave me the desired satisfaction. Blogging has brought me so much happiness that I have transformed the course of my life.

Blogging has become the biggest hobby that I recommend to people who seem not to have figured out their passion for life.

I knew about numerous articles about the importance of blogging as a way of improving businesses. Others encouraged people to become experts and make a living out of blogging. I later found out that the most beneficial recommendations lay in the personal realization that blogging changes the writer.

Here are 15 reasons why I think you should blog

15 things why you should blog

1. Be a better writer

Blogging will turn you into a better writer than what you currently are. Since writing is fundamentally a communication method, it is an effective way to pass messages. A blogger goes through the process of first recording thoughts on paper and convincing their audience to agree with their perceptions. Like every other skill, blogging improves with practice. For you to improve your skills as a writer, you need to keep writing.  Do not expect blogging to force you into becoming a writer. Somewhere along the way, you will realize the difference and the benefits that come with consistent writing. Regardless of the size of the project, ensure that you keep writing. It could be a simple presentation, an anniversary card, a resume, or a huge book.

2. Improve your thinking

You will turn into a better thinker if you keep writing. Since writing involves the process of recording thoughts, it keeps you engaged in deeper thoughts and the relationship among them to make sense to you and the audience.  As you dive deep to find the meaning and connections of life matters depending on your topic of study, you get a wide view of issues.  Even if you do not find enough to guarantee your reason to write, it is important to record what you can amerce. Having nothing to say should not be a reason not to write. You may not have figured out what to say or how to say but should always have information. With time, you will always have an opinion about anything because you have enough information that is relatable. Ultimately, you turn into a better thinker.

3. Living  intentionally

Living an intentional life is what most people crave for around the world. As you record events, activities, thoughts, and issues around your life, you become more intentional with what is happening to you. Since your thoughts shape up what you go through and perceive the world, they gradually change to support a positive intention. You can also be able to follow up and monitor the person you are turning into whether it is pleasant or not. You can compare this with what you have been and make a decision on what you need to do to achieve your goals.

4. Develop Keenness for Meaning

Writing will also help you develop keenness of meaningful things around you. Filtering is necessary for writing because you need to be relevant to your audience. You cannot write about every single event and thought that you thought of. Choosing the appropriate things for your audience makes you focus on the meaningful things of life. With an eye for meaningful things, you tend to magnify them and as a result, find more of them.

5. Gain Healthy habits

Do you wish to develop healthy habits, keep writing your journal because you will be having time for devotion, commitment, and discipline? These values will compel you to develop a character that will benefit your psychological health.

6. Exposure
