Why I don’t read much these days

Dear friend, I understand that you are struggling with not reading as much as you used to. It can be frustrating when we feel like we are not living up to our own expectations or past habits. From a Buddhist perspective, it is important to remember that our thoughts and feelings are impermanent and constantly changing. It is natural for our interests and priorities to shift over time, and it is okay to let go of things that no longer serve us. From a psychological perspective, it may be helpful to explore why you are not reading as much. Are there external factors, such as a busy schedule or lack of access to books, that are getting in the way? Or is there an internal barrier, such as anxiety or depression, that is affecting your motivation to read? It may be useful to journal or talk to a therapist or coach to gain clarity on these issues. In terms of coaching advice, I would suggest setting realistic goals for yourself. Instead of pressuring yourself to read a certain number of books per week, try setting a goal to read for a certain amount of time each day or week. You could also try finding a reading buddy or joining a book club to make reading more social and enjoyable. Remember to be kind and patient with yourself, and to celebrate small victories along the way.
