A Few Pages A Day, Keeps The Bad Thoughts Away!

We all know the intellectual benefit of reading every day.

But did you know that reading just a few pages a day can help negate negative thoughts?

Think about it:

When do negative thoughts and anxiety tend to creep into your mind?

I know personally with me it tends to happen when I’m in a state of rest; when nothing else is going on.

This is common and it makes sense.

When your mind is actively focused on something, you don’t have time to dwell on such superfluities caused by anxiety.

It’s only when your mind is in a state of relaxation that anxiety really has a chance to bother you.

So how’s reading help?

Well by reading and learning new things, you will begin to saturate your mind with new lines of inquiry.

In other words, with potentially beneficial information.

After time– indeed, you must be in the habit of reading consistently– you will find yourself pondering what you’ve been reading in your free time.

And as such, your previous negative thoughts will begin to fade away.

The more you read, the harder it will be for your anxiety to return.

I normally find that 10 pages is the ideal minimum for me, but this number will vary depending on the person.

Regardless of if it’s 3 pages, 10, or 20, by reading consistently everyday you will learn a plethora of new ideas and concepts that will likely be of great value to your personal development journey.

While concurrently keeping away negative thoughts, which ultimately serve you no purpose.

Don’t believe me?

Try reading at least 3 pages everyday for the next week.

(Or listen using an audiobook if you prefer.)

And watch your negative thoughts diminish!

Look Good, Feel Great!

Look Good, Feel Great!: Looking good is a huge part of style, and it’s the most obvious part, in my opinion. Most of the time, people start dressing-up because they want to convey a message to those around them. But there’s a second, much more important aspect of style and personal image. That being how style makes a person FEEL When you look good, you feel great! And even more than that, your feelings will radiate out onto other people who will be drawn to you. Style to me has always been about feeling my best; in fact, style was a significant part of me overcoming my body image issues. I was never really one to seek compliments or enjoy flattery– even though that stuff obviously comes with looking your best– rather what mattered to me was how style literally changed the way I felt. I remember putting on my first suit and feeling the most empowered I have ever felt. Not only that, but I noticed pretty quickly how everywhere I went I was treated differently. People started ...

Art can be incredibly motivating and being around art can have an immensely empowering effect on us. It’s a similar effect to one experienced while being surrounded by religious relics or statues– art can make us feel invigorated and influenced by something greater than ourselves. It’s almost like experiencing what John Keats called the Sublime in a more easily accessible way. According to Romanticist writers like Keats, the Sublime is defined as a meeting of the subjective-internal and objective-external, and is the strongest emotion we as Humans can experience. It typically requires us to put ourselves in awe-inspiring situations like seeing the sunrise from the peak of a mountain or looking up at a statue that towers over us. Instead of climbing a mountain or finding a huge statue though, with art we only need to go to a museum or into our living room, if we’re collectors. There are many different types of art and genres, all of which can have a powerful effe...
