Writing down your thoughts into a journal this New Year’s Eve increases the chances of following through with the resolutions in the New Year. As archaic as it may sound, physically scripting your future goals onto a piece of paper activates the sensorimotor part of the human brain which helps retain your thoughts. Writing down thoughts is involved with the motor aspect of learning and processing. Seeing and reading your thoughts on a piece of paper strengthens the overall retention process. Try writing down your new year’s resolution this year, and keep re-reading them, I think you’ll appreciate the difference in 2015.
