Reading reduces stress, improves your mental health, communication skills, memory and focus. As young child I was not attached to books, books were attached to me. I couldn’t help myself the only time I got into trouble was coming home late on a school night, staying late at the community library. I lost track of time, the Librarian would save all the new books for me to read. I was whisk away in another world fully present and too engaged, the old days that shape my intellect.
Fast forward to adulthood, I realized I was more drawn to motivational and self help books. I am all about bettering and challenging myself. Setting my sight on growth and self-development was the way to gooooooooooo!
