A better Person Through Writing

The #Bloghop prompt of Blogchatter for the week 31st Jan to 6th Feb was "3 ways writing has made you a better person" 

You jump in and out of a number of shoes 

see other people's points of view, not just your own 

understand  their  motivation, compulsions, circumstances 

in other words empathy for others blossom even

as you engage in the sacred art of writing !   

Writing keeps you on your toes, always on the look out

for new ideas, topics on which to write

mental faculties exercised in the writing process 

keeping one alert, socially concious, full of life! 

Research, curiosity, physical activity for travel bloggers 

imagination, mental travel as you write poetry, fiction

crafting distinct, unique characters, enjoying the divine journey 

generating dopamine, other happy hormones in body & mind  

With big influence on  the physical,  mental  and social well being 

writing opens your heart to a bigger, expansive realm 

an active, alert mind drawing in zest for living

 keeping at bay, diseases like the alzheimers!
