When was the last time you wrote a handwritten letter, card, or even a simple note for someone? The answer is probably longer than you’d like to admit.<\/p>\n

While the art of handwritten mail is taking a backseat due to the convenience and speed of online communication, there are actually some surprising benefits that come with handwriting cards including improved relationships and a boost in mental health.<\/p>\n

Don’t believe us? Read on for three reasons why you might want to consider picking up a pen.<\/p>\n

Improved relationships<\/strong>
\nThe simple gesture of writing a card for someone shows them that you care and are thinking about them. Whether it’s a “thank you” note, for a birthday, or “just because,” we love Hallmark Good Mail<\/a>\u00a0cards for the fresh designs and the lighthearted captions that are sure to make anyone smile.<\/p>\n

Boost mental health<\/strong>
\nYes, physically writing out your thoughts can boost your mental health. In fact, science has linked expressive writing<\/a>\u00a0to a better mood, reduced stress, and an improved overall sense of well-being. Plus, taking time to jot down a message for someone in a card helps you unplug and digitally disconnect, even if it’s just for a moment.<\/p>\n

Get creative<\/strong>
\nUnlike an email or a message on social media, the space you have on a physical card is limited, forcing you to be intentional with every word. Whether it’s a simple poem or a few short sentences, a personalized message lets your creativity shine through.<\/p>\n
