Five Reasons To Start A Personal Blog

Let’s talk about five reasons why you should start a blog for yourself OMG Blog. This is question I am asked often and though there are many reasons why I think people would benefit from having a personal blog, here are the first five off the top of my head. Ready? Set! Go!

First: Blogging is a great way to express yourself. It gives you a chance to put your thoughts out into the universe about your life, about things going on around you, as well as express your opinions. The fun part of it is that it is out there in internet space for others to read including friends, family, and even strangers! There’s something quite romantic about that.

Second: Having the opportunity and platform to write will greatly improve your communication and writing skills. As it is your personal blog, you can write about whatever you choose. You can even use your blog to practice various essay formats such as the five paragraph persuasive essay or the personal narrative essay. Or simply use your blog to write about a variety of topics to improve not just your communication skills but to also widen the topics you can communicate about. That’s a great addition to your skillset!

Third: Besides improving your communication and writing skills, you can also improve your thinking skills. Exercising the brain is very important these days. There are even many handheld video games available to exercise your brain. But being able to logically think through a blog post or article on a topic of your choosing not only exercises your brain but also makes it pleasurable and fun since you have the freedom to choose how much you want to think about your post and how much detail you want to write in.
