Finding The Time To Read

You can fit it in!

Life is busy and it's not always easy to find the time for a hobby or ourselves. Listening to everyone at book club talk about all the books they read, I always thought, how do they have the time.?

The more my reading journey progressed the more I realized you can make time for it and it is a nice way to give yourself some self-care, relax, and enjoy something you like doing.

I always read before bed, it helps me unwind, and fall asleep, and great for my mental health. Even if you only get through a couple of pages a night it's a good way to start the habit of reading.

I like to read at the beach in the summer or during a snow day in the winter I find both relaxing and a good way to dive into a new story or book.

Pre-pandemic when I belonged to the gym I would walk on the treadmill and I would read while I got my steps in. It was a good way to pass the time while working out and it made my exercise routine that much more enjoyable.

When it's been busy, I need a break or see everything piling up around the house. I set my timer for 20 minutes and read until it goes off. Sometimes it's just what I need and a way to get in some reading.

No matter how busy life gets, you can find the time to read and remember it's about doing something you enjoy for yourself.
