If you are not learning, you are not growing.
There are several buckets we put ourselves in when it comes to reading. We either hate it, love it, or love it but don’t have enough time. No matter what bucket you put yourself in this challenge is for you. Even if you hate reading you will find that over time you see the benefit of it and grow to like it.
Your 3 levels of challenge this week:
Easy: Carve out 10 minutes each day to pick up a book & read. I recommend setting a number of pages goal especially if you are not a reader. That way instead of glancing at the timer every 30 seconds you focus on the number of pages left to read and what you can learn out of those pages. Find a time that you can be consistent like right before bed to wind down or in the morning before the rest of the house is up.
Medium: Switch out another activity for reading. Think about how much time you spend watching tv, scrolling through social media, or waiting for kids during their practice. Switch that activity for reading. Find a time that you could read for longer duration to grow your mind instead of numb your mind.
Hard: Set a goal for each month to achieve. Maybe it’s reading 1-2 books a month or a daily goal of reading so many pages. The idea is to be consistent to make it a good habit.
Finally, remember to give yourself grace. We will never be perfect and life happens. Show up each day as your best self. You choose your attitude and actions.
