Finding Your Element by Ken Robinson: a great source of help, advice and motivation if you’re pushing through the daily grind, lack passion for what you do, or are wondering how you can start doing what you love.I love this image about the benefits of reading by designer Raphael Lysander which includes some fascinating statistics on how reading can help with stress relief, mental skill development, and forming relationships, etc. Now I’m in the flow of reading, I’m excited about stepping out of my comfort zone and trying other genres/styles.It’s a great way to learn more about my hobbies, interests, and passions.Finishing a book is satisfying and that feeling of finishing things is motivating me to develop a habit of completion – in all other areas of my life.Reading before bed is helping me to sleep better.It feels like a really productive use of my time – unlike watching TV or surfing online.
I look forward to that little bit of me-time I carve out for myself each day.I’m only a few weeks in and I’m already reaping the benefits of burying my head in a good book for half an hour a day: What’s more by 31 December I’ll have read 52 books – what a great feeling that will be! As well as increasing my knowledge, giving my brain a good daily work out and opening my mind to new thoughts and ideas, I hope that priorising my passion for books will inspire me to work on improving all aspects of my life. So I’ve set myself a challenge: to read a book a week, every week, for a year. I love reading and my shelves are overflowing with books that are all begging to be read. One of the (many!) great things I’ve resolved to do in 2016 is to spend more time doing things that make me happy – like reading. This is a post by our Senior Editor, Rachel Kempton
