I went back to actually reading aloud for 30minutes everyday because my verbal dexterity was diminishing! I was rushing through words, not finishing pronunciations plus had a terrible breathing technique when presenting! Glad to report that I have improved so much!
When you stop reading books, you start losing verbal dexterity, depth of thought and imagination. A closed book is a closed mind. Don't EVER stop reading.
i hope you believe that you can still make a beautiful life for yourself even if you lost many years of it to grief, or darkness, depression, or a wound that wouldn’t close
Don't let a 10-minute problem consume a 24-hour day. The email was uncomfortable. The train was late. The conversation went poorly. Feel it, deal with it, then allow the rest of your life to remain intact.
