What are you readin’ for?’’......One of my friends encountered with this question at one time!!
And I would like to add a few more things...
Is your life so busy you’re wondering how you are going to find time to read more, especially when it’s just for “pleasure”? Having trouble justifying it, even to yourself? Leisure activities like reading are often the things that slide when life goes into overdrive. And that’s sad because it’s an activity that can make life richer and more enjoyable.
There is something about stopping to focus on words arranged for our reading pleasure that is instantly relaxing. Maybe it’s staying still, something that doesn’t seem to happen often enough. Maybe it’s knowing that we are stepping into a secret world that we have to relax enough to enter. Then there are the words themselves. The beauty and rhythm of language has an amazing ability to calm and relax us.
Taking your mind off your own problems, even for a few minutes, can have a therapeutic effect and be a timely circuit breaker. Indulge in reading.. If we encourage mental health patients to read more,it will act as a therapy for reducing stress and overcoming anxiety, depression and social isolation.I think!
Enjoyable reading is a deeply satisfying pursuit. The expression “curling up with a book” evokes a warm and cozy image and feels luxurious if you don’t get to do it often.
Reading is like exercising – mental and physical benefits flow from a regular routine. So don’t feel guilty about taking time out to read. It’s good for you!
