How reading helps us?

Hey everybody! How are you all? It’s been a great deal of time that I’ve not blogged and it feels so good to be able to catch up with you all after so long. So, today’s topic is related to reading and its significance and vitality in our lives. Though I too don’t have a castle full of books but I’ve been trying to inculcate a habit of reading daily in myself as doing it makes me feel gratified and elated to some extent.

“Reading is the gateway skill that makes all other learning possible”. This statement very well quoted by Mr. Barack Obama gives us a brief on how beneficial reading is. Let’s start with a very basic advantage that we all must be familiar with. Reading enriches our vocabulary and in turn, increased vocabulary makes us more articulate and we are able to put across our opinions and views in a better way. Having a good command over a language boosts up our self-esteem in a way. Another advantage is that reading broadens the horizon of our mind and it opens up gates of the world. The more we read, the more we are able to read between the lines and interpret  and comprehend the deeper, layered intricacies of the text. Added to this, it may play an integral role in transforming our perception towards multifarious subjects. We get a wider understanding of the world. Also, reading helps in mental stimulation. To deviate our minds from the packed, frantic routines, reading is a great way to keep ourselves engaged and it lets our apprehensions drain away. It really is a great source of meditation. It transports us to some other realm and we feel that we are ourselves a part of the story(the main character vibes seem so utopian). Moreover, it is a fact that reading before bedtime affects the sleep cycle and enhances the quality of sleep. Not only this but also reading has an impact on the way we write. If we read good books we tend to write in a better and more poised language.  Personally, I also feel books are the best of friends of introverts and placid people like me and such expressions of art help us to resonate with them. Sometimes, we tend to relate ourselves and our  life struggles with the lines in a book.

Reading is indeed a priceless asset and now we know that reading gives us an entire package full of knowledge, vocabulary, confidence, entertainment and what not.

So, let’s take a pause and start reading a good book and replenish our souls for a little while!!
