A Book is a gift you can open again and again

It's not been long since I started to indulge in reading different types of books and trying to expand my mind. There are many benefits to why one should read at least 10 pages of a book everyday.

1. Mental Stimulation

It has been scientifically proven that if you keep your brain busy by exercising it daily, it can slow down/ prevent Alzheimers and Dementia. It's a great way to keep your mind going.

2. Stress Reduction

In life, we all are facing battles. Every single person faces a different battle everyday. Whether it be school, work, professional or personal relationships. Therefore, the best way to reduce stress, is through reading. Reading has the magic to transport you to a different world, allowing you to relax and get rid of any tensions.

3. Knowledge

Its not a hidden fact, that by reading you expand your knowledge. The more knowledge you have, the more you will be able to pick up tips and tricks and be able to handle situations in real life.

I can honestly say, in the past 3 months of my life, its been a real turn around and all the credit goes to reading. I've been reading lots of personal development books, fictional novels and autobiographies. I can vouch for the fact that reading does reduce stress and increases knowledge.

My first favourite book that I read in June, is The Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo.

This book is all about following your dreams, about taking risks and listening to what your heart has to say. The fact that the book has sold more than 65 million copies worldwide, is a statement in itself about how amazing this book is. Paulo Coehlo is a Brazilian author who mostly writes about experiences he has dealt with in his life.

The book is about a young spanish boy who leaves his home in search for fulfilling his destiny and dreams and heads to the African desert.

There are so many life lessons that you learn along the way and makes you think outside the box. You begin to look at your own dreams differently and approach them differently. If you aren't an avid reader or you don't like reading chunky books; then this is perfect for you- It only has 167 pages!

The second book I absolutely adored, was The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari by Robin Sharma.

This book is also about following your dreams and reaching your destiny. In the book you find out about the 7 virtues that will help you in life. I personally found it very inspiring to read and opened my mind to a different way to do things in my life and how to achieve the most.

The fable is about a rich, famous lawyer who has an eye opening experience who is forced to see the imbalance in his life and starts a life changing odyssey that helps him create a life full of passion, peace and purpose.
