Once upon a time, I read more than 100 books a year. Several years in a row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But then a few years ago this little thing called divorce happened, and all my healthy<\/strong> habits like exercise and reading and not finishing an entire wine bottle in one sitting? They disappeared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even after my life got back on track, my reading habits didn’t pick back up to the same level. Now, I consider it a win if I finish one book a month. But honestly, even that hasn’t happened very often lately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I know how to develop a reading habit, but I haven’t made it a priority. Should I care?<\/p>\n\n\n\n I don’t necessarily want to get back to reading 100 books a year, but I know all the benefits<\/strong> of reading books. A good reading habit<\/a> will help reduce stress, improve your memory, and make you more creative. Not to mention reading everyday can help ward off Alzheimer’s<\/a> and dementia<\/a>. (And as it turns out, reading actually does make you sexy<\/a>!)<\/p>\n\n\n
