Why Write Down Your Goals? Handwriting, Visualization and the Brain

Writing things down is mystical and magical, but there's science behind it, here's why.

When you think a thought, it's in your field. Science knows this.

It's there as a wave of energy.

An electron is a wave, but when it's observed, it becomes a particle.

So you think a thought, I want to make $100,000.

I want to make $1 million a year. I want to make $5 million.

I want to have $10 million in the bank. I want a Lamborghini.

So you think a thought, it's a wave of energy.

When you look at it and see a picture of it, it stops being a wave and becomes a particle,

because you've observed it.

And then when you write it down on a piece of paper,

ideally white paper with a pen with blue ink,

because there's energy in the color contrast to the brain,

you transfer what's in the ether into the physical universe.

Here's the analogy.

If you look up in the sky and you see some clouds,

and you go, oh, it's an eagle.

Within a second, the eagle's gone, because the clouds move.

When you think a thought, oh, I want a Lamborghini, it's gone, just like the cloud.

Unless you capture it and write it down on a piece of paper,

you don't transfer what's in the ether into the physical universe.

When you transfer it to the physical universe, it becomes now physical.

It becomes real, writing it down.

Why is writing it down on paper better than if you type it into your phone or electronic device?

When you write, and think of something that nobody does today, cursive writing,

which is Palmer penmanship.

When you write cursive, there are thousands of neurotransmitters firing off in your brain,

and thousands of neural pathways because of the movements of your hand.

Therefore, when you write down what you want,

the impression that it's making in your brain is in thousands of locations.

When you type, there are less than two dozen.

Really?

Yeah, because there's only two dozen movements.

Interesting.

And if you use your thumbs and do this, there's two.

It's even less.

Exactly.
