Here are three reasons reading is good for the soul.
Reading can be relaxing and reduce stress.
Instead of being on social media constantly, get a good book and start reading! The best time to read is one hour before you go to sleep. It relaxes you and makes it easier to sleep through the night. Instead of laying down in bed and scrolling through Twitter like its the news, pull out your favorite novel and read a few chapters, you'll be amazed at how much easier it is to fall asleep.
Me time.
Reading is something I simply do in my free time. It can be good for a Sunday afternoon or a lunch break on a park bench on a beautiful day. Either way, reading offers us another world to delve into. If you like Sunday afternoons and park benches, grab a book and start reading! Everyone needs a little "me time" where you can forget about the world around you and just enjoy the moment.
Knowledge.
Reading is not only just for relaxing and for personal time. It can give us knowledge and expand our vocabulary. The plots, characters, scenes, settings, and situations happening in the story gets our minds thinking and can also resonate with us in real life. Reading can also deepen your understanding of people and the world around you. Reading a book, any book, is teaching you more.
So, will you be picking up your favorite book and reading?
