Mind Reality

Something we computerized folks sometimes forget: the way our brain is wired (and the connections between our mind and the universe) has developed over the centuries.

And somehow it seems that our mind puts more emphasis on things that we really write - opposite to things we type on a computer keyboard.

A lot of studies prove that we remember things better when we actively write them down, and it is very likely that manifestation technics (like writing down your “goals” or timeline events) work much better as well when done in your own handwriting.

This topic came back to me recently when Wendi Friesen made a sidenote on it in one of her free teleseminars. I thought: YES. I almost forgot how to write - I am an extremely “digital” person. So the next step was to purchase an “art pen” (cool thingy with a brush tip - used for Japanese / Chinese type calligraphy usually) and a few cheap notebooks and do some writing - just like in elementary school, *lol*

I have now started to do certain things (personal “development diary”, project brainstorming, goal setting, timeline work) in handwritten, physical notebooks. Other stuff is better organized with software applications like Journler or iGTD. The results are stunning.

This whole thing is really interesting - so I will digg into it. Will take some time, but expect a lenghty semi-scientific article on it including interviews with some very successful “manifesters” and their use of handwriting somewhen during the next week (RSS or newsletter subscribers will know first!)
