Writing helps you... organise your thoughts relive your experiences better understand yourself and your emotions keep your mind sharp as you mature Writing has emotional, mental and physical benefits. As well as helping us understand our complex, often inarticulate emotions and psyche a little better, research carried out at UCLA indicates that there may be a connection between a lack of 'mental exercise' and Alzheimer's disease. A lack of 'mental exercise' in youth seems to manifest itself in the formation of plaque on the brain in early adulthood, which has been linked to Alzheimer's in later life. The principle is that if underused, the brain atrophies and decay, however slowly, will inevitably begin. Besides the physical benefits, writing helps us to better understand the workings of our own psyche. How many great pieces have started with no particular objective, yet emerged as a highly focused piece? The subconscious mind has a way of instilling a sense of unity into our writing, even when we write apparently random paragraphs that have no perceivable way of connecting with a greater thematic element.
