Writing Is A Lost Art

Stop multitasking! Focus on one thing at a time to reduce stress. Strengthen relationships by using a few minutes each day to handwrite notes and create a still point in your day.

Over the years, here are the two reasons people give most often for why they
don’t write notes.

“I have horrible handwriting.”
“I’m stressed and don’t have time.”

In my recent article, Three Tips to Easily Improve Your Handwriting
I’ve included practical ways to get results, as seen below, and solutions to reduce your stress while writing notes.

 

The Three Tips to Easily Improve Your Handwriting are:

1. Slow down. Take a breath and give this activity your focused attention for a few minutes. A moderate rate of handwriting is 15 to 30 words per minute. We suggest no more than 40 words for each note you write, so even slowing to a moderate pace will allow you to easily write a note and envelope in less than two minutes.

2. Have a consistent body height for the letters of all your words. This is one of the essential characteristics for legibility. Leave the width of an “n” between words.

3. Relax your hand. If you hold your pen too tightly, your writing will look cramped, and you will tire easily. Have a scrap piece of paper and scribble on it to loosen up or tap your index finger on your pen several times as you get ready to write.

Take the time to slow down, relax and use your note writing time to de-stress

Stop a few minutes for fun… Analyze This

Visit the Handwriting Wizard website. The fun exercise will show you how to analyze your handwriting. One caveat, parts of my analysis seemed to be accurate and some not, but nonetheless it was interesting. Take a moment and try it yourself. You might just uncover the hidden you!

Feng Shui Your Way

The ancient art of Feng Shui came to prominence in the mid 1990s in mainstream America. This 4,000-plus-year-old Asian scientific-based (not religious-based) practice is used by individuals and businesses (including Coca-Cola) to aid in the movement of energy, called chi (chee) to promote better living. Since I mentioned it in my “Three Tips to Easily Improve Your Handwriting” article, I wanted to also share the American Feng Shui Institute website, which gives an overview of how Feng Shui can help create more balance in your life in personal and professional ways. Also, visit this site for a FREE online intro seminar on Feng Shui.

The more we understand the nature of illness and explore the impact of environment on disease, the more we can take responsibility for changing the aspects that we do have control over, with the environment being the main one.
