Enjoy Reading

Excessive workload or personal problems are the most noted causes of stress. Most of the people, in today’s time, are facing stress-related issues. The way they deal with it is a personal choice. Some like to go on a holiday whereas some prefer to listening to music or taking long walks to refresh their mind. Stress, if not dealt with properly, can have adverse effects on one’s health.

One of the most effective ways to deal with stress is reading. According to a research published by the University of Sussex, reading can reduce stress by 68%. Even reading a book for merely 6 minutes can help in diverting your mind from the problems that create stress and refresh your mind. No matter which genre of book you are reading, it will instantly take you away from your worldly problems. Whether it’s a biography or a book on gardening, it can relax your mind and reduce the stress level up to a great deal.

Apart from reducing stress, reading can give you various other benefits as well. Some of the best ones are explained below:

Knowledge and Information

Whether you are reading a book about history or an entertainment magazine, every bit you will read can fill your mind with pieces of valuable information. It is always good to have adequate information and knowledge about everything and reading gives you exactly the same.

Enhanced Focus & Concentration

Multi-tasking has become the need of the hour. Almost everyone, in modern times, believes in performing various tasks at one time. Although multi-tasking saves our times but it can really hamper our productivity and make the stress level high. When it comes to reading, one has to fully concentrate on it. Since reading requires the proper attention of the reader; it enhances their focus level and concentration.

Improved Vocabulary & Writing Skills

It is a known fact that reading improves vocabulary which eventually leads to improvement in your writing skills. Apart from gaining knowledge and information from different books, you can learn proper sentence formation and new words and add them to your dictionary which can help in improving your writing abilities up to a great extent.

Stronger Memory

Reading a book involves memorizing a lot about it such as characters, their backgrounds, sub-plots etc. It can help in making your memory stronger and enhancing your analytical skills.

Reading can be a great way to pass your time while giving your stress a backseat. Not only it can provide you numerous benefits but also can be a natural defense against several mental related disorders such as Alzheimer’s since it keeps the brain of the reader active, focused, and simulated.

If you or anyone related to you is suffering from stress-related issues, give them the precious suggestion of reading books to deal with it in the most effective way and avail its various other benefits.

Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are.

3, 2, 1 Go……Stop Procrastinating
October 4, 2011

I am a nurse practitioner with fibromyalgia. During the 5 ½ years I lived in St George, Wil’s weekly 90 minute deep tissue massages helped me to have a life and stay out of bed all day. Like all of the very best massage therapists, he combines his excellent skills with physical therapy techniques. He is constantly adding to his knowledge by taking courses and adding more modalities to the services he offers. True healers are very intuitive. Wil is no exception. He truly listens to his client’s body, adding energy work or whatever is needed at that session.

Although I don’t live in St George anymore, I was excited to try the Body Code once Wil added that modality to his services. I didn’t completely understand how it would work, but it made sense to me that our bodies hang on to emotional or physical experiences we have had in our lives. Wil was able to do Body Code work for me, even though we were separated by 300 miles. Over a period of four months, Wil did about twelve Body Code sessions. I began to feel a bit of a difference physically and emotionally almost from the start. Six months after Wil began my Body Code sessions, the physical difference in me was undeniable. My friends and family began asking me what was making me feel better. My current massage therapist kept telling me that my body was improving and she felt I was getting well. It has been a year since I began Body Code. I still have fibromyalgia, but not at all like I used to. Not only am I doing better physically, but I am emotionally calmer.

Over two months ago, I contacted Wil and asked him to do the Body Code on my dogs. I have two males that get along very well. For some reason, this year they had been in two fights. Obviously this could not continue, and I asked Wil for help. He did one session on one dog, and two on the other. I not only gained insight into what was going on with each dog, but they have not had an incident since. They seem calmer as well. I totally would recommend the Body Code to anyone even thinking about it.
