How can blogging change your life?
The question has been raised before if blogging is a thing of the past and is dead now. But the billions of Google searches each day tell another story. We spoke about how blogging is alive and thriving and will continue to be so, unless the internet goes kaput world wide. Highly unlikely!
Say you decide to get into blogging, how can it change your life?
Streamline your thoughts
Putting down thoughts onto paper, or a blog post helps to structure them, and give us more clarity. Think of it like journaling. We always feel better after we pour our heart and mind into our journal. Sharing our thoughts with the world not only helps others but us as well
New perspectives
With clarity and streamlined thoughts comes perspective. Our vision seems clearer and we get to see life in a new light. No wonder it is said that blogging can be so therapeutic. Also, when we put our thoughts out there we connect with a lot of new minds who share their opinions too, thereby stretching our vision even more.
Learn new skills
With blogging we learn so many new things. We learn how to set up our blog, how to use social media effectively, how to research ideas for our posts, how to put ourselves out in the digital world and showcase our content and so much more. We are learning something new everyday and expanding our skill set to suit the need of the hour.
Give a greater purpose to your words
With a voice and a platform we have ready listeners. This makes it easier for us to talk about things that matter- social causes, topics that are stigmatized, things that we should be giving attention to but are brushed under the carpet and so on. To put it shortly, we get to be changemakers by taking the first step. Several CauseAChatter champions in our community are doing the same.
Increases awareness
The above two points on learning and finding greater purpose lead to increased awareness. When we learn, we grow. We are more aware of our surroundings, of the things that affect humanity as a whole and we make better choices, thinking on a larger scale, always with the bigger picture in mind. We become a step closer to true greatness and leadership.
Flexibility
We can achieve all of this and more from the comfort of our homes! That’s how powerful and flexible blogging is. Learning a few simple skills and using our creativity, we can be headed in a whole new life changing direction!
Seneca said, “As long as you live, keep learning how to live.” Maybe adding blogging to our lives is one way to go about it!
We asked our community what they’d like us to talk about and this post is inspired by a suggestion Mayuri Sharrma gave us.
