Letter writing is thriving

Letter writing - by hand - is linked with mental health benefits.

Reasons to opt for writing

  • Letter writing helps develop a strong sense of accomplishment. Typing text takes seconds, but spending intentional time creating a letter will give you a greater sense of accomplishment.
  • It increases clarity and gives a new perspective. Writing engages a different part of the brain and helps to view ideas from another angle.
  • It fosters connections and deepens relationships. The recipient feels that they are important to you.
  • It creates anticipation of a letter arriving and boosts your happiness.
  • Gratitude letters are directly related to happiness.

Tips to write more regularly

  • Always have stamps available. The key is having your own sets of custom, printed stationery.
  • Stay consistent. As with any habit, letter-writing takes repetition.
  • Start a tradition of letter writing.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
