Mental su!c!de is when you stop learning.

As a creative, it's not hard to cultivate a good reading habit.

You just think it's difficult because you've not followed the right strategy.

Before I tell you that one thing you need to do, I want you to know that I understand how it is when you get a book to read, and then get distracted along the way.

Also, I know how disheartening it is carrying books around, yet you are unable to read from it.

This is my candid advice to you.

START SMALL.

As we all know that in our journey to personal growth, we ought to start small so that we can be able to gain capacity in whatever we venture into.

So, I advice you start small.

For Instance; if that book you've been carrying along with you has 12 chapters, why not start with one chapter a day, or read for 30 minutes a day?

Those who read two books and more , didn't start like that. They started small.

So why can't you?

Trust me, when you start small, you'll eventually see yourself reading beyond what you started with.

Do you know that “𝐈𝐧 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞” and “𝐎𝐧 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞” are two phrases that are often confused with each other, but have distinct meaning?

𝐎𝐧 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞: This means arriving at the scheduled time. For instance, when you arrive at the exact time you were supposed to, it clearly means that you are “𝐎𝐧 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞.”

Also, when you are given a task and you complete it at the supposed deadline, it is also considered as “𝐎𝐧 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞”

𝐈𝐧 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞: This implies meeting up on something or a meeting before the scheduled time. Also, when you arrive at an event or meeting before the scheduled time, it's said that you are “𝐈𝐧 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞.”

When you are “𝐈𝐧 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞” it implies that you have enough time to spare.

For you to illustrate the difference, use this;

~ I arrived at the hospital on time for my meeting with the doctor (You arrived at the scheduled time.)

~ I submitted my project in time to meet the deadline. (You completed the project before the deadline.)

Know that both phrases relate to time, “𝐎𝐧 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞” emphasizes punctuality, while “𝐈𝐧 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞” talks about the idea of completing something before a specific time or deadline.

Personal growth is a lifelong journey that requires patience, kindness and compassion with yourself, while working on being a better version of yourself.

𝐃𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬.

In our journey to personal development, one of the things we need to work on is stress reduction.

You are not a wood to be working tirelessly without rest. Mind you, I'm not saying that you should be lazy.

Back to my main point.

One thing you should do to reduce stress is READING.

Are you surprised?

So yes, it has been proven that reading can reduce stress.

𝐍𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐚𝐧:

~ 𝐋𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞: A 2009 study published in the Social Indicators Research journal found that reading can lower blood pressure and heart rate.

~ 𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬: A 2013 study published in the Journal of Research in Personality found that reading can reduce cortisol levels (a hormone associated with stress).

~ 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐨𝐝: A 2018 study published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology found that reading can improve mood and reduce symptoms of depression.

~ 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬: Reading can serve as a healthy distraction from stress, providing a mental escape and reducing rumination.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨:

~ 𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐱𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞: Reading can trigger the relaxation response, a state characterized by decreased stress and increased relaxation.

~ 𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐞: Reading provides a mental escape, allowing individuals to temporarily forget about their worries.

~ 𝐄𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Reading can evoke emotions, providing a healthy outlet for processing and managing stress.

I hope you find this helpful.

If you are reading then you find it hard to understand written symbols that helps communicate a meaning, you find it difficult to learn and enjoy whatever you are reading, then there is a problem.

Now, reading helps you learn new things, It helps improve your vocabulary and comprehension, It reduces stress, It can help you sleep, and It helps prevent cognitive decline.

Therefore, if in this present time you decide not to read, you will be missing a lot that's been stated in the second paragraph.

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤?

~ Word recognition: Ability to identify written words.

~ Comprehension: Understanding the meaning of words and sentences.

~ Fluency: Being able to read accurately.

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐈 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠?

~ Practice reading regularly.

~ Read aloud.

~ Read with a tutor (I'm available if you need one).

~Take a self-study course,

~ Lastly, Read one chapter a day for a start. With time, you'll be able to read more.
