National Relaxation Day
There’s no better way to relax is there? Reading a book and loosing yourself into a new time and place
Another good thing to do to help you relax is to pick a very special book, a special reading place and to maybe make your own book cushion fashioned from a glorious book-related Tote Bag…
If reading a book reduces your stress, imagine what reading a book about reading can do! Lucy Mangan’s Memoir of Childhood Reading is especially nice….
Lucy takes you through her childhood and the stories which made her the person she is today. She remembers growing up with her favourite characters, discovering new worlds and the joy of filing your bookcases and never wanting to let them go. The books you read in childhood are often the ones which stay with you for life. A lifetime of friendship – that’s what books give you!
Talking of old friends….they are the ones who really know you and when you see them after time apart – the joy! The sense of relaxation and feeling that you’ve come home floods you with joy and happy hormones.
