For this week’s inspiration, I decided to sit down for an hour and a half and read. Growing up, I used to love to read and would read very often- during class breaks, long car rides, or before going to bed. It used to be an outlet for me to escape everyday life and imagine a whole new world. My life now is much more stressful and chaotic than it used to be, so I thought what a perfect opportunity to sit down with a book and forget about my daily stresses for a bit. Not only did it help to relax me, but it inspired me to do this activity more. I plan on not only finishing this book, but to continue to take time out of my days to allocate to reading for fun. Reading today has reminded me how much I used to enjoy imagining myself as a part of the various stories that I used to read. Even though I have less time in my day than I used to, I think that reading is so valuable because it enhances one’s imagination and enables a creative way of thinking that can carry over into many different aspects of a person’s work. I feel much more inspired this week to continue to read and see how this helps me in other parts of my day-to-day life.
