Benefits of Writing for Health and Goals by Love Blood is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document summarizes research on the benefits of writing, both about past traumatic events and future goals. Writing about trauma has been shown to improve both mental and physical health, reducing doctor visits, improving mood, and boosting immune function. Similarly, writing about ideal future goals or "best possible selves" can enhance well-being and decrease healthcare utilization. Goal-setting and pursuit has psychological benefits and is linked to happiness by engaging reward systems in the brain.
