I love transporting myself into different time periods and experiencing different cultures. I often wonder how I would have lived my life during various times and circumstances.This had improved my imagination
Life can be overwhelming and social media is sometimes toxic.Escaping from reality helps with dealing with the reality .I would rather be reading about the unrealistic standards of the world.It has helped to calm me down especially after a long day of classes.
Books carry a lot of information ,and in as much as i would love reading newspaper articles on the internet .I find it more interesting when i read about the History of a country through someones pesperctive.My favorite self help book that has played a huge role in how i handle my day to day duties is Atomic Habits by James Clear
Reading allows me to put myself in the character's shoes.My emphathy towards people has improved becuase i have learned to put myself in the shoe's of the one who seeks emphathy.Learning and understanding that there is a lot more behind people's personalities and why they act a certain way.
In highschool i used to struggle a lot with English .So i took upom myself to start reading books because i hated the fact that i could not articulate myself especially during the speech tasks. My vocabulary improved with time as i start to gain more intrest in the new words i found in the books i read.I do not like admitting it but reading plays a huge role in my creativity some would say the ideas i have are unrealistic.
There are a lot of benefits to reading
