    WEEKLY CHALLENGE!


    Are you reading any books right now!? (mine is below)


    Your challenge this week is to read 10 pages every day, preferably from an actual book!


    This has amazing benefits for your brain health and general outlook on life.


    But so many people don’t read … in fact, more than 25% of people told researchers in 2019 that over the course of a year they hadn’t read a single book (or even part of one).[​IMG]


    But just look at this list of benefits! Reading:


    Strengthens your brain by improving the connections within it

    Boosts your vocabulary and comprehension

    Helps you sleep better

    Reduces stress

    Lowers your blood pressure and heart rate

    Fights symptoms of depression

    Prevents age-related cognitive decline

    Is linked with longevity, and

    Improves your ability to empathize with others.


    Pretty amazing list, right?!

    Are you up for it? Here’s what I’m reading right now: Promised Land by Barack Obama and The Story Brand by Donald Miller.


    Let me know: What book are YOU committing to reading 10 pages of this week?!

    Haha i never believed them, but love the twists and turns.

    These days alongwith thrillers, self help and self enquiry had been my favorite.
