Write It Down, Make It Happen by Henriette Anne Klauser

Book Summary

Write it down Make It Happen by Henriette Ann Klauser is a simple book that explains to its audience a scientific and proven method for achieving goals. From its name, it is clear how much importance is given to writing goals, and in the descriptions, you will understand how this work will lead to the realization of wishes and dreams in the long term. The author considers all people in any position as his audience and asks them to use their brains properly and try the power of writing to create positive effects in their lives.

The further you go, as a reader, the more you realize the importance of the author's clear goal setting. Perhaps you have read in other works related to the field of personal growth and success that the brain can be deceived or convinced by creative visualization and the correct use of imagination, because with the continuation of the process of visualization, the semi-conscious mind of the human being will create dreams. accepts and tries to reach them. Here, Ms. Klauser emphasizes that by writing goals on paper several times, in the long term, we make the brain carefully examine and process them.

After writing the goals and dividing them into two general parts, long-term and short-term, the power of elements such as water and fire has been discussed in this work, how they make ideas last in the mind, and even secondary cases that do not work for the mind. Filters and removes incoming. One of the things mentioned in this book, which is very thought-provoking, is a study conducted at Harvard University and found that only 3% of students wrote down their goals, and after a few years, when the research was conducted again on This statistical community is conducted and a strange result is obtained, which is that people who wrote down their goals experienced a better life than others.

The author talks about a commitment that people create by writing goals in their minds and move towards achieving them. Another thing that has been mentioned very well is that after writing down the goals, people should go to the realization of their small goals at the beginning and with the energy and motivation they achieve their bigger goals. because perhaps the pursuit of a big goal from the beginning will impose a failure on the goal-setter and make him despair. The beauty of the work becomes more visible when the creative writer talks about the power of patience and considers it normal to be a little late to achieve the wishes. In the meantime, he draws other small and big steps in front of the audience, which you will find noble by reading this book in full, including flexibility that requires the audience to focus on the destination, not the path.

Book Quotes

Writing down your fears makes them go away from you, and writing down the opposite of your fears gives you strength and energy to think differently.

Even if you don't know what you want, start writing.

Your fears make you think differently and get different answers.

I recommend that you prepare a small notebook and keep it with you so that you can immediately write down the ideas that bring to your mind.

When you write down your goals on paper, new content, energizing ideas and different plans ooze from your brain. These are good news, of course, note that you should review and remind yourself because if you don't do this the best plans are forgotten.

Let's think about all your worries for a few minutes, then try to write about them without stopping and do not edit anything, when you feel that you have written everything and all your worries are on paper, take a break and repeat what you have written. Read after a while these fears.

    My dear friend Katia told me about this book when we were talking about writing down our dreams and thoughts and how the act of writing in a physical notebook helps you process where you are stuck in your mind and what may be in your way and whats behind your frustration and anxiety. she swears by this book and so I grabbed a physical copy and have thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

    Half-way through the book, I set it down and started to do as it preached. Ive always written down things too but not as systematically as I should. Ive been a blogger, a writer, an author and so Ive done the structured working but were talking about personal journaling and being very specific about manifesting your goals through writing. To be totally honest, Im not 100% sold on "The Secret" and the simple idea that ask and you shall receive. Perhaps that is the skeptical side of me. I feel that you have to do the work, take the actions and MAKE things happen, and YET, there is so much in this book that gives this another dimension.

    I respect writing on so many levels that if you told me gold and diamonds would pop out from me writing about them, I might take you up on it ;) OK half kidding but theres no arguing with the immense and hidden powers of Writing Things Down. Writing is medicine; writing is therapy; writing is joy! If everyone of us wrote our way out of our frustrations and problems, there would be more joy and far less pain, but enough preaching about writing. This book takes you through the very specifics of how writing down what you want will lead to you getting it. Its not a straight path, and I love the zigzags along the way. For instance, if youre not getting it, and youre writing it down and doing the work, then something is stopping you; either you are not ready for it, or you are blocking it by something you are doing subconsciously, or you are not seeing that it has already happened to you in other ways.

    You will find so many creative ways to enhance the writing down part. Klauser talks you through so many wonderful ideas to give you a complete system. Some of my favorites are the following:

    - Writing through to resolution: This one is to help you get clarity if you feel stuck.

    - Focusing on the Outcome: "Hold it in your mind that you want a pool" chapter. Staying encouraged.

    - Stacking Goals, Raising the Bar: "A girl who has done X can definitely do this!" Thinking about a big achievement in your life and reminding yourself that youve gone for something bigger in the past.

    There are lots and lots of stories of people that the author weaves in to make her point including experiences of herself, and in fact, there is about 80% story and 20% theory or context. This isnt my favorite style of writing but it worked well and it was done creatively. The stories were good.

    She also gives you exercises relevant to your own writing at the end of each chapter, and if only for that reason, I would recommend getting a physical copy of this book, and this from a true Kindle-lover I assure you but physical books still have their place in this world.

    I bought this book because I was looking for a book to help a better way of scripting the only thing I don’t agree on if your writing in a gratitude journal not to write your fears down cause then it will show lack I understand the resolution part that’s something I would write on a seperate piece of paper. In the journal I would write positive thoughts and goals you want to achieve I had a gratitude journal once I a lost it. So I thought I could not write in another one and you can. Took a while for me to realize that and let my old journal go. When I did have that journal I put a picture of someone in the journal I had a fall out with I said I wanted to be on friendly terms with this person and after I wrote it things moved immediately after I wrote it that month so it’s not just what you wrote down but you have to affirm it to and see it in your mind to. So words are powerful but you need the other components to. Getting off the topic this book was a good read when it came to the exercises at the and the story’s were lengthy good example on some stories. I bought this book because a lot of the reviews people claim they wrote it down what they wanted and it happened

    About three years ago my business coach recommended this book. An avid journaler and reader I figured it was right up my alley.

    It was and it is.

    As some other reviewers mentioned -- using these techniques may be a bit like Dumbo flying with his feather -- but in this day and age its not so awful to want to cling to the feather in the first place.

    The book helped me create a space and a reverence for the time I take in reflection and goal setting. I learned to clear my head and respect my ideas and thoughts, my goals and my dreams -- even when no one else did.

    My life continues to be a great source of joy and success -- is it because of THIS book? nah. Its because of a dedication to living with the basic tenets of this book (and many others) in my heart.

    Its quite possible that you simply stumble upon this book when you are wondering where you are going with your life and why...its possible that you are on a constant quest for your right life. Use this book as the tool to help you move your mindset to a slightly quieter space and give yourself permission to Write It Down so you can Make It Happen.
