Was at a coffee bar this morning – reviewing my goals, hammering out “copy” and poetry – while many college students sitting nearby have zero idea what I’m writing because I’m using what is now, in many ways, a secret code.
It’s called Cursive Handwriting.
I write all my goals, poems and somewhat deep thoughts, in cursive – first.
I write much of my copy the same way – first.
Then, when I need speed, I type.
I write cursive for many reasons. Here’s a partial list:
1. It uses the brain at a deeper level – causing neurogenesis and enhanced memory function
2. It improves fine motor skills that come into play when performing a gross motor skill, as in sports or martial arts, with a light touch
3. It releases neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine, making you feel good
4. It puts you into a calm, relaxed, flowing mood – without even trying
5. It increases production of IGF1 – insulin-like growth factor – the hormone involved in keeping you YOUNG
6. It makes you feel superior to other earthlings who can barely print their name, much less write it in cursive
7. If you ever want to read the original writings of our forefathers and/or your forebears, you have the ability to do so.
8. It increases clarity of thought, organizational capability and precision.
I know many people who type out their goals. This is a big mistake.
Writing them out is much better – and writing them in cursive is FAR BETTER due to the increased brain wave activity.
This is why, whether you’re currently studying Psycho-Cybernetics or Zero Resistance Living – you want to fill in the blanks in cursive.https://youtu.be/7ocOIKI1fic
Doing so will engage more of your brain – both sides – and help catapult you to where you want to go.
Here endeth the lesson.
