The Good Patrons of 750 Words

I love 750 words because it keeps me healthy. There have been studies done that prove that writing down experiences (especially negative ones) reduces the amount of times someone gets sick in a year. James Pennebaker at the University of Texas did a study about writing which involved people writing down their secrets- 15 minutes a day for four days in a row. They found that these people visited the doctor less than those who wrote about daily nothings. So with that said…if you have secrets….write them down- your body will thank you for it! (Also, they found that if you write them in the first person the first day and then switch to the 3rd person- the people who do that were the least likely to get sick.) I personally have been writing for 330 days in a row and I have not gotten sick this year. It’s free therapy people!
