Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body

"Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body" is a metaphor that emphasizes the importance of mental stimulation through reading. Just as physical exercise strengthens and conditions the body, reading exercises the mind, enhancing cognitive abilities, expanding knowledge, and fostering creativity. It highlights the idea that regular reading can improve mental agility, sharpen focus, and contribute to overall intellectual health, much like how consistent physical activity leads to better physical well-being. This saying encourages the practice of reading as a vital part of maintaining and nurturing a healthy, active mind.

This meme reminds us of the timeless magic of reading. With each page turned, books have the power to sharpen our minds, presenting challenges that make us think in new ways. They invite us to explore exciting lives, places, and times far from our own, sparking a sense of wonder and adventure within the confines of our everyday lives. In times of stress, they offer an escape, a place where pressures fade away, replaced by narratives that soothe our souls. Most beautifully, books have the gentle strength to tug at our heartstrings, nurturing a deep empathy and compassion that connects us more closely to our fellow human beings. Through the simple act of reading, we become not just informed, but transformed.

Confessions of A Bookworm

As an avid reader, I always look for more books to read. I may also share some of the books I have come across on my path, that I feel have shared some useful information.

I am a read-for-knowledge type of person. My husband and children sometimes make jokes, because the books I am into can also be used for what I do for work, but I love expanding on my knowledge so I can be more well-versed on the subject matters.

The books I read are often educational, spiritual, metaphysical, medical, health and wellness, self-discovery, and self-help-based. Although I also read sci-fi, comics, graphic novels, fantasy fiction, and magical realism. I am a writer and have written poetry and expression pieces most of my life, with tons of journals and notebooks filled with over 20+ years of my writings. So I also enjoy a good poetry book as well.

Being a heavy reading couple, it also brings me joy to know that our children have inherited the same nature, with a love for reading, and writing as well, and between all of us, the libraries never know what to do with us, because we will go through entire sections, often having to request books in advance.

I would love to receive book suggestions if anyone has any they would love to recommend.

I have also posted a picture of some books I own that contain helpful information, different perspectives on certain things that allow room for growth and development, and personal improvement.

May the books I posted be as beneficial for you as they were for me.

I may be just trying to be the one who I wanted (needed) to meet when I was a child. ☆ 怒りの中で思うのは、僕を形作る記憶の数々。僕は、幼少期、空想の世界の中で、「こんな大人がいたら」と助けを求めていた誰かになろうとしているだけなのかもしれません。お金を求め、力（権力）に畏れ、常に何かに縋ろうとしていた人々が偉そうにしていた生活環境の中で、「見返りを求めず自分を主張できる人」というのは、憧れでもあり、そうなりたいという夢でもありました。結局、本の中でしか出会えなかったけど。 ☆ なぜ怒るのか。実は、僕が怒りを抱いている人のイメージが、2013年以前の僕自身と重なるからです。大嫌いだった父親とも重なるからです。人は、残念ながら、「聞きたいこと」しか聞かず、「知りたいこと」だけを知ろうとします。都合の悪い現実（自分が想定したもの以外）を目の前に突きつけられた時、頭を垂れて教えを乞える人は、そんなに多くありません。でもね、もし、その「都合の悪い真実」を突きつけているのが自分自身だとしたら……？刺し子は究極の所、（布と針を通した）自分との会話です。だからこそ、そんな刺し子と出会ってくれた方だからこそ、「今、何を読んでいるか、瞬間湯沸かし器のように反応しないで気を配ることができる」ようになって欲しいのです。 ☆ 反省点は、僕自身が求めすぎ、また理想を抱きすぎたこと。お言葉を借りれば、真面目すぎたんです。僕は変わらずに、英語では「有料でも読みたい」と思ってくれる人を対象に頑張ります。無料だから流し読みするだけで、お金払ってれば流し読みする人はいないでしょ（いたとしても議論するだけの価値はそこにあると思うので）。 ☆ ☆ [Note] | I will no longer write a story in this account in English. The posts on July 19th and 20th explain why. I switched the platform of my stories to Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/sashiko) purely to protect myself from “thoughtless” audience. It would be great if you could consider joining the caring community there. For newcomers, please read the previous posts and our website. There is A LOT of reading there, and I do not plan to delete as of now. If you happen to like our concept of sharing the Sashiko we practice, and would like to hear more from me, please consider joining the supportive community. Thank you for your understanding. I did my best until July 20th, and I felt it reached up to my capacity to have “ideal” to everyone. ☆ #Sashiko #SashikoStitching #CulturalAppropriaion #MindfulReading #SashikoFashion #SlowFashion #VisibleMending #刺し子 https://www.instagram.com/p/B0KYPzhJ3tg/?igshid=1ukq42pih9yin
