It definitely helps to have a hobby. Hobbies will help you express your interests and set you up to pursue what you like doing in the future.

If you are looking for a hobby that does not require physical activity, there is no better choice than writing. Writing offers many benefits and does not require a lot of time or energy. Here are 3 reasons that you should pick up a pen and pad right now.

• Easy Accessibility: Writing is the perfect hobby for you if you don’t have much around you. Hobbies that focus on physical activity might be fun, but have you ever tried golfing without carrying around a whole bunch of clubs and golf balls? Or perhaps swimming with no water? These other hobbies may require lots of equipment and certain settings to be possible. 

However, if you are planning to write, just stick a pencil and a few pieces of paper in your pocket and you are good to go. You can write in virtually any setting too. There are almost no restrictions. You can even write electronically if you have your phone or computer with you. Few other hobbies compare to the simplicity of being able to write wherever you go.

• Writing Helps you Express Yourself: There are many different ways you can express your thoughts, feelings, and ideas in your writing. For instance, writing is a good way of expressing creativity. Because writing has no limits in what you can write about, there is a way for everyone to get their thoughts across. If you have a creative mind when it comes to imagery and figurative language, you can write poems and stories. If you have always wanted your ideas to become a movie, you can write a screenplay. You can literally write about anything you can think of.

You can also express your emotions in your writing. If you had a bad day, for instance, you can tell your story and get some of these ideas off your chest. Your writing canvas will never reject any of your ideas and because of this, writing is a great stress-relieving tactic as well.

• Writing Helps in Communication: You do not only have to write for yourself, you can also write to or for other people. You can practice writing letters and emails to help other people know how you feel as well. Starting a blog or a website is also a good idea because it helps you communicate your thoughts to other people and show them your skills and interests.

Even writing to yourself can help with communication skills. Jotting down daily agendas and ideas in journals or diaries will help you organize your thoughts. Especially if you are busy, you need a way to control your thoughts and untie the knot in your brain. 

Writing is a good hobby to do on a regular basis to help you get away from the world and maybe even figure out other interests. It is best to take a little chunk out of every day and devote it to writing. No matter what you write about, expressing yourself will help you in more ways than you know.
