Its snowing again. The snow looks really beautiful but I am so ready for spring.
How was the day 6 challenge to sit still? We need to incorporate more stillness everyday.
Today is the last day of the weeklong challenge and its to read!
Oh I love to read. Its my favorite hobby and when I am free, you can always find me reading. I can really get lost in a book. I read a lot of non fiction and enjoy motivational and self improvement books.
But you can read anything that you enjoy. My kids are required to read daily for 20 mins as part of their school homework. This should be applied to adults as well.
Reading is my favorite past time and has other benefits. Reading improves your health and I think of it as food for your brain. Not only will you learn new vocabulary, but it will improve your health and helps you get a good night sleep.
I know a lot of people who love to just sit in front to the T.V instead of reading. You don't have to read all day but spend at least 15 to 20 mins reading. It does not even need to be a book. Maybe its a research paper or an article. Find something that interests you.
My favorite quotes on reading are below:
"The more you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go." Dr. Seuss.
"Reading is the gateway skill that makes all other learning possible." Barack Obama.
So even if you are not a reader, today is the day to start. Read away!!
Wishing you peace and happiness my friend from my heart to yours!
Peace,
Monita
