Reading is not only fun, but super beneficial for your mental health and physical wellbeing. Check out the facts! 1) The University of Sussex published a study in 2009, which states that reading can reduce stress by up to 68%. 2) Reading makes it easier to emphathize with others, also known as the Theory of the Mind, because you are constantly diving into other characters' minds and given the opportunity to understand their emotions, personalities, and inner conflicts more directly. 3) Reading makes people more kind, which in turn causes them to be more likely to volunteer, give charity, and be involved in their communities. 4) The mental stimulation induced by reading has been stated in multiple studies to delay the onset of Alzheimers and other forms of dementia. 5) Regarding stimulation, those who read have been proven more likely to engage in physical exercise. 6) Proficient readers are more likely to graduate from high school, continue on to higher education, and land higher-paying jobs. 7) Among the top best-selling books of all time are the Bible (which ranks number 1), fo

As a writer, it is inevitable that you will experience some form of rejection at some point in your career. Here is our advice to... As writers, especially when first starting out, it is inevitable that we will face/experience some form of rejection at some point. - Let yourself feel sad. Getting rejected is definitely not a fun feeling. It's important not to brush these emotions under the rug and to truly allow yourself to feel sad. That mourning period is a positive (and we feel, somewhat necessar) step that will eventually propel you into trying again and working even harder. - Be able to let go. While it's important to allow yourself to feel sad, it's also counterproductive to hold onto that resentment and become bitter. Meditate on it, but then let it go. That's the only way to move forwards. - Don't put all your eggs in one basket. It's easy to become fixated on a project. We're recommending against that, though. You should always have several writing projects going on at the same time, so when one doesn't work out, you can easily maneuver yourself over to another one without having to start all over from square one. -Take a break. Breaks help you recharge those creativity circuits. Avoid burnout and stress by just taking a little break from writing, as opposed to diving straight back in. Your break should be long enough that you feel rested when you begin writing again, but short enough that the break doesn't knock you off of your writing schedule/routine. - Talk with other writers. Chances are you are not the first, nor the last, to experience rejection. Talking with people who share similar experiences will do wonders for boosting your morale. -Listen to feedback. If you get a rejection that includes feedback, consider yourself lucky. These notes are an invaluable resource for your next drafts. Think of them as a teacher's notes, which can steer you in the correct direc
