When you think about how to find your way back to inner peace from stress and hectic, reading is usually not the first thing that comes to mind.
Reading is not only entertaining and interesting, it also calms the mind and contributes to relaxation.
One Study of the University of Sussex even concludes that reading a good book can reduce stress levels by up to 68%! And in the study, just a few minutes were enough for the test subjects to read.
The scientists' statement:
The brain has to concentrate on reading the text and can therefore no longer deal with the stressful thoughts. A good book that stimulates the imagination and creates stories and images in your head while reading is the ultimate relaxation, according to the scientists.
So how about a round of reading today?
Grab a good book, make yourself comfortable, and then relax as you descend into worlds full of adventure and mysterious stories.
