5 Reasons Why You Should Write

Writing is a therapy, just like any other art form. Be it any form of writing- story writing, article writing, email-writing, letter writing, creative writing, content writing, article writing, or even just scribbling across the last page of your school notebook. 

Writing mean words, and words mean a form of expressing yourself. Writing what you're feeling is a medicine in itself. Many people around us carry so many stories within them, tales that bother them, haunt them, day in and day out, but they don't express them out, which often leads them into mental illness like anxiety or depression. Writing also means leaving something behind that'll always stay in the world, even when you don't. 

Here are the 5 reasons why Shabd thinks that you should write:

1. To Express Yourself- 

Every person get hundreds of thoughts in a day. Good, bad, dangerous, painful, and these thoughts are unique to that person. People also have a tendency, an inbuilt wish to be able to create something good, something valuable. Now when, people who have unique thought process, decide to write something valuable, often in those times, masterpieces are created, when writers pour out their heart and soul on paper, or online, become vulnerable in front of readers they don't even know, expressing their true raw minds, that gives immense peace. 

2. To Understand Yourself 

Words are the mirror to your soul, and when you write, you're seeing a part of yourself you didn't have the eyes to see. When you start writing, you write in a flow, and when you write in a flow, you often write things that comes deep from your mind, things you were ignoring, things you were trying to escape from, things you could no longer run from when you read out loud on paper what you've trying to hide all along. 

3. Better Career Opportunities 

A good grasp on words can open up a lot of opportunities as career, especially English writing, that's why we encourage writers to come join us on Shabd.in and share their pieces so they can grow. Writing makes your comprehension and communication skills strong, enabling you in becoming a more articulate professional. 

4. To Change Lives

Words can change lives. They have that kind of power. Imagine, a depressed person somewhere reading your professional blog about some positivity, his/her life getting a new direction? Words can do that to people, words can give them hope, just like prayers. Words can soothe an aching heart and mind, they can provide solace to a diseased soul. Think about creating something so powerful that can change people's lives. 

5. To Evolve

Writers are people who generally read, and people who read and write simultaneously are people who have a different perspective towards the life and world. Because they read, and because they write, they have a lot of stories, a lot of experiences and an understanding that goes deep regarding the circumstances and situations in life. Writing will evolve you, process and refine your thoughts and make you look at the world with different lenses. 

Writing is a skill that needs to be polished everyday. You don't have to become a professional writer, or even a fabulous writer. Just try to write for yourself, everyday or every week, not as a task, but as a meditation. 

 

How Do I Cultivate The Habit Of Reading

As an online book publishing media platform who also give access to hundreds of free titles to be downloaded and read by the users, this is one question that we get asked a lot.

“How do I cultivate the habit of reading?”

Reading is more than a hobby, it’s a medicine and food for the hungry minds, and it can only be enjoyed or be benefitted from only when it is done in a proper way.

Here are some of the few things we suggest to become better readers.

1. Choose a time where you’re not in a hurry. Book reading is a silent activity and you shouldn’t pick up a book if you’re in a rush.
2. Pick up a book which suits your interest. For example, many readers only like fiction, many only like self-help books, some like political books and some like cookery books. Some can read whatever is given to them. Picking a book of your interest will help you enjoy reading it.
3. Don’t rush reading. If you’re new to book reading, read only a page a day.
4. Designate some time solely for reading, say 30 minutes or more. Time before going to bed is the best time to pick up a book to unwind the hectic day and maintain this habit daily.
5. It doesn’t matter how many pages you’re reading in a day, what matters is how much you’re understanding what the author has written. Comprehending book as a whole is necessary more than speed, which can come later.

Reading is a habit that comes with consistency and interest. You first have to take interest in reading, and then be persistent about it. But once you start enjoying the joy that reading is, we can assure you, you’ll never look back.
