Reading has been a source of mental solace and a leisure for the mind to find joy in. With the rise of social media one can feel overwhelmed with constant visual resonance and become distant from their inner poet.
Create a book club for friends, family or your partner to seek refuge and relaxation with one another. If finding friends seems to be an obstacle start by creating one online ❤️.
For anyone interested in starting a book club or being in one why don’t you all find yourselves in the comment section :)

BOOK CLUBS!
I just started a book club with a friend today and even tho the idea has only been in the air for a couple of hours I LOVE IT! It has brought so much joy into my life!
Maybe we need more community building opportunities?

I am apart of about 3 different book clubs between work and my friends. I have a hard time picking out books to read so it helps to just have one set up, and it’s nice to have a chat about the books. they are super easy to join too :) or just make one with your friends

During my quest of personal expression I have found a unique and meaningful way to be more comfortable with the sound of my voice and that is by reading out loud. At first it was weird and awkward to read to the four walls or prying ears but as time went on, I began to allow for my voice to take up space and to fill those anxious gaps inside of me.
PS:
I read out loud in the privacy of my home 😭 not out in public spaces.

with the rise of social media, it can be so easy to get sucked and pulled into someone else’s aesthetic or outlook.
i have found inspiration from going within and seeing what i genuinely like when it comes to art, fashion, interior design and so much more. the results were shocking but it comes to show how much i really am a maximalist at heart :)
what are some of your favourite interior design styles?

The beauty of documenting your life experiences through your speech and embracing how your voice sounds in that very moment is something I find so special.
Our voices are instruments, what use are they if we don’t take delight in the sound of the very thing that forms meaningful connections.
Voice journalling has made me so much more confident in my speech, how I sound, public speaking and expressing myself to those around me. It has helped me to be more interactive during conversations with friends, family and strangers. It has opened up the gate for meaningful friendships and closed the gate for social anxiety.
I usually go back and listen to the growth of my voice and the small depletions of the insecurity and anxiety of my speech. It’s also a great way for me to document my thoughts when journalling through writing gets overwhelming.
Have any of you all tried voice journalling?
