- 1:00Speaker 1: walk through an everyday world, which means it is my
- 1:02Speaker 1: morning writing as a receiver of thoughts and ideas. We
- 1:06Speaker 1: as people tend to throw things to the side and
- 1:09Speaker 1: deal with it later on. No, throw it onto a
- 1:12Speaker 1: page recorded into a digital device. Don't throw it away.
- 1:16Speaker 1: You ain't coming back. You ain't gonna do it. When

- 1:22Speaker 1: to dig in. It's still keeping a daily journal, but
- 1:25Speaker 1: the research itself is going to make that picture a
- 1:28Speaker 1: lot clearer. This is the daily mess as we age.
- 1:33Speaker 1: Why does our handwriting get worse? And why is it
- 1:38Speaker 1: messy looking? This is a subject to every age group
- 1:42Speaker 1: because it deals with every one of us. Now, what's
- 1:45Speaker 1: up with our writing? No wonder people choose to text
- 1:49Speaker 1: or type? Why does our handwriting suffer so much? While
- 1:54Speaker 1: it's reduced? Find motor control? The smallest of muscles inside
- 1:59Speaker 1: your hands lose their strength, flexibility and precision Number two,
- 2:05Speaker 1: arth rights and joint stiffness. Oh, and this is where
- 2:10Speaker 1: your thumb is forced to take over. Wow, and our
- 2:14Speaker 1: vision has a lot to do with our bad handwriting.
- 2:18Speaker 1: If you don't keep your words between the lines, writing
- 2:21Speaker 1: gets larger and shakier. Plus we have slower nerve signals. Yeah,
- 2:27Speaker 1: our brains and our nerves they're talking less with each other.
- 2:31Speaker 1: People who don't write every day simply get out of practice. Now,
- 2:35Speaker 1: here's the thing. If your handwriting suddenly changes, that's your
- 2:40Speaker 1: inner self saying, hey, dude, we might have a medical
- 2:43Speaker 1: situation here and it could be connected to a neurological condition.
- 2:47Speaker 1: Can you check me out please? Doctors do suggest writing

- 2:57Speaker 1: Coming up next? Is speaking into a digital micro still
- 3:00Speaker 1: keeping a real daily journal? Hey? Thanks for coming back
- 3:06Speaker 1: to the daily mess? Is speaking into a digital microphone
- 3:10Speaker 1: still keeping a real daily journal? Or does it have
- 3:14Speaker 1: to be physically written out? Now? Being a daily journal writer,
- 3:19Speaker 1: I've been here thirty four years straight. My answer and
- 3:24Speaker 1: or reply does not match what mental health experts suggest
- 3:29Speaker 1: in their words, not mine in their words. A journal
- 3:33Speaker 1: is defined more by its purpose than by its tool
- 3:38Speaker 1: in use. If you feel more comfortable dropping your vocals
- 3:42Speaker 1: into a smartphone on a regular basis, it's seen as journaling.
- 3:46Speaker 1: There are four different types or styles written by your
- 3:50Speaker 1: hand in a notebook, type it out onto a computer
- 3:54Speaker 1: or phone, speak about it inside your digital recorder inside
- 3:58Speaker 1: that smartphone, or dictate to speech to text. Keep in mind,
- 4:05Speaker 1: the best journals are the ones that you maintain. Can
- 4:09Speaker 1: I please say that again? Because I just can't get
- 4:11Speaker 1: that into people's hearts. Your best journal is the one
- 4:15Speaker 1: that you maintain that means you show up every day
- 4:19Speaker 1: if you can't do it every day, do it every week.
- 4:22Speaker 1: That's how it started for me in nineteen ninety four
- 4:24Speaker 1: was once a week, and then I challenge myself to
- 4:26Speaker 1: write a thousand pieces of poetry, and all of a sudden,
- 4:29Speaker 1: I haven't stopped writing every frickin' day. Now. If you're
- 4:34Speaker 1: like me and your innermost personal thoughts are put on
- 4:38Speaker 1: a page, audio can never replace your history. That's not bashing.
- 4:43Speaker 1: Recording whatever it takes to preserve your thoughts is fantastic
- 4:48Speaker 1: because your vocals have three things that you're writing doesn't pitch, volume,
- 4:54Speaker 1: and tone. That absolutely sounds fantastic, right, because it really
- 4:59Speaker 1: is a learning tool to go back and hear your emotions.
- 5:03Speaker 1: But here's the thing you have to watch out for. Yes,
- 5:06Speaker 1: it's pretty simple to record your voice digitally onto your smartphone,
- 5:11Speaker 1: but you know how digital is. One day, it's here,
- 5:14Speaker 1: tomorrow it's all gone. You're handwriting, Oh it's right here
- 5:23Speaker 1: thirty four years and counting, and it's not as much
- 5:27Speaker 1: room as what you think. I'm marrow. And that's the
- 5:30Speaker 1: daily mess
