audiobooks at the gym

Inspired by Emily's rec! Started this habit back in 2020 on my socially distanced walks and now continue it at the gym. Great way to fit some reading in, especially if you think you don't have time for it

LISTENING TO AUDIOBOOKS

something unlocked in me when I started getting into audiobooks! I put them on while I drive, fold laundry, cook, etc and now I can’t stop - my favorites recently have been nonfiction/related to current events so in a way it feels very much like a podcast substitute but with a longer runtime. I’d recommend to anyone who’s been struggling with attention/trying to make it through a physical book, it’s like an easier alternative to sitting still that still allows you to grow your brain/expand those reading comprehension skills! Libby has free audiobooks with a library card, Spotify premium also includes certain audiobooks and there are plenty of other resources online

Taking a journey to find the book instead of ordering it or checking online

Walking from bookstore to bookstore without knowing if they’ll have the book you’re looking for builds character…plus ordering books online is gross what if there’s an ugly mark or fold like

sitting down and writing letters

Go to a cafe or park with a list of people (and their addresses) and tell them what’s on your mind in the form of a handwritten note that you then MAIL to them…
I like to prepare the envelopes ahead of time (complete with postage), so I can drop them in a blue collection box on my way home but you can literally do whatever you want!!! The important part is the act of communicating via letter of course
