Let’s go back in time, where laying down in a comfy chair with a hot cup of tea and hours upon hours were allotted to your favorite pastime. Yes, those were the good days where you had a new novel smelling of refined ink and all the time in the world to get lost in it. But of course, life likes to smack us all in the face a couple times and tell us that our fantasies are over when it comes to reading for fun. All of our obligations come first and foremost, and with the time we have left to enjoy ourselves it should really be spent either eating or sleeping. I am here to impress upon you all of the reasons and ways that will allow the relaxing activity of reading your favorite novel with a cup of tea in a comfy chair, to take place without any feelings of guilt.
Tip 1: Take the time out of your day to do it, trust me it’s worth it. If it’s twenty minutes, or an hour, there is always some chunk of time that could be put to your entertainment. Suppress the Netflix, or the quick nap, and utilize your me-time with a favorite book.
Tip 2: Find a place that gets you excited to read. Whether it be a coffee shop, a library, a museum, or a restaurant, grab something that you’ve been itching to read and do it in a calm and comfy setting.
Tip 3: Let your reading be your reward for the day. If you’ve put in a lot of work all day long, let your reading be the time where you can unwind and relax, you deserve it!
