I read "Pick up a pen and start writing, and your life will change": Write a life diary and pursue a better life

Last year, we started to carry out the “disposal” process and gradually cleared out hundreds of books, preparing to distribute them to relatives and friends or resell them in second-hand bookstores. I just happened to take this opportunity to re-examine many good books that had been gathering dust.

Just like this book “[Pick up a pen and start writing, your life will change] (https://www.books.com.tw/exep/assp.php/vista/products/0010800681?utm_source=vista&utm_medium=ap-books&utm_content=recommend&utm_campaign=ap-202110)”, written by the international best-selling author Adam. Written by Adam J. Jackson, the author claims that as long as you pick up a pen and start writing, you can write a perfect life.

The pen is more powerful than the pill.

The amazing power of writing

He further pointed out the amazing power of writing. Anyone who needs only a pen and a notebook to write for 15 to 20 minutes a day can improve their health, gain confidence, happiness, and work and academic achievements.

Through the book “Pick up a pen and start writing, your life will change”, readers will learn how to:

• Memory improved 7 times.
• Show better results in school.
• Improve work performance and efficiency by 20 to 30%.
• Effectively relieve body pain up to 47%.
• Achieve doubled and sustained weight loss results.
• 50% more likely to achieve your life goals.

These numbers look quite amazing, and I also want to believe that the power of writing is immense! But for those who haven’t found the joy of writing yet, is there any way to start trying? The author encourages everyone to keep a life diary. Even the simplest questions often have profound meanings.

The unique value of life diary

Unlike diaries, which are purely records of our daily lives, life diaries are not only a personal exploration of our innermost emotions related to our experiences, but also a record of our thoughts, goals, and inspirations.

February is about to enter, and the new Year of the Golden Snake is about to usher in. Let’s write a life diary together!
