‘Literature is the most agreeable way of ignoring life.”
Heyyy my Strawberries, Today we will talk about reading.
For some it can be a chore, an obligation and for others it is a pleasure. Personally, during a period of my life reading was a refuge, changing worlds with each book I read was so comforting.
When life got complicated, I took refuge in books.
Now I have learned to deal with my problems but I still love books.
It may sound impressive from the outside how cultured people can seem just by reading books.
We will be like these people, cultivate!
I can’t say it enough but Knowledge is Power !
I will give you some tips to become that person who loves to read.
- If you like movies, play the smart character in this movie. Personally I wanted so much to be like Rory Gilmore the first time I started Gilmore Girls, literally I bought all the books she read. Paris which is also in Gilmore Girls motivated me to be the first in class. Find you characters and inspire you.
- The second advice would be to start with books that you like, not necessarily books that will enrich your culture. It can be sagas like Twilight or Hunger Games, or small books that read quickly like Milk and Honey.
- After getting your brain used to reading, start giving you challenges like 1 book a week ( it sounds hard but it’s doable, if I succeed you can succeed! ) balancing with a book for your culture and a cooler book.
- In the evening, instead of staying on your phone, try reading a few chapters of a book of your choice.
- Going to the library, the atmosphere of reading and calm will help you stay focused.
- To start your new goal well start slowly without giving you pressure. You can make one book a month and read 20 pages a day. 5 min a day to start is not bad too.
I hope my advice will help you and I specify that you should not put pressure on you. Reading this is a great advancement in your pursuit of achieving your goals.
I’ll see you soon for another article, take care of yourself. ❤️
