How many books do you read a year? If you have children in school, how many books did they read outside their textbooks? I grew up in a small rural town where sports were sometimes hired more A on a report card. My main focus was on how our team would perform Friday night. How was I going to have time to read during my stress, teenage life activity-packed?
I did well in school, do not get me wrong, but reading outside of school was not a priority. I'm sure many of you can relate! It was not until I graduated college, got married and started to make friends as an adult that I realized I had to expand my knowledge. What better than to open a book?
Too often, adults say, "I do not have time to _____," and I would venture to say that reading can often fill this blank. We are all busy - between work, family activities, go to the gym, and other tasks from day to day, who has time to sit down and relax? However, if you took the time to read on a regular basis, you would do yourself a huge favor, both personally and professionally. In addition to expanding your knowledge, there are several advantages reading provides:
- Brain Stimulation : Like any other muscle in the body, the brain needs exercise to keep strong and. healthy, so that the phrase "use it or lose it" is particularly relevant when it comes to mind
- Reducing stress : A well-written novel can transport you to d other areas, while an engagement section distract you and keep you in the present moment. whether true or false, playback can let the tension drain and allow to relax
- Vocabulary expansion :. the more you read, the more words you gain exposure and they will inevitably make their way into your daily vocabulary
- development of memory :. Each new memory that you create from a new synapses forge history and expanding existing ones, which helps in restoring short-term memory, and mood stabilizing
- Improve focus . in our crazy-Internet world, attention is drawn to a million different directions at once we multi-task through every day. Taking the time to concentrate on a book can help to focus your mind.
Not only have I gained an appreciation for learning new things, I also developed a new view of the world through literature. Whether you prefer classic literature, poetry, fashion magazines, biographies, religious texts, young adult books, self-help guides, or romance novels, there is something there to capture your curiosity and imagination. Step away from your computer for a while, crack open a book, and replenish your soul. I would like for you to share some of your favorite songs in the comments below!
