The Slow Life Journey — reading

There are many benefits to reading for relaxation. It can help to reduce stress and anxiety, improve sleep, and increase empathy and understanding. Studies have shown that just six minutes of reading can reduce stress levels by 68%.

Reading is an activity that requires focus and concentration, which can help to quiet the mind and bring a sense of calm. When you lose yourself in a book, you're able to forget about your to-do list, your phone notifications, and all the other distractions of modern life. Instead, you can simply be present with the words on the page and the story unfolding in your imagination.
