Reading can be therapeutic. Even as little as 10 minutes a day can reduce it by over 50%, as this really grounds you, helping your mind take a break from the constant thoughts and noise trying to fill your mind.
There are many other benefits to reading aside from reducing stress too. Reading as little as 10-20 minutes a day helps build your vocabulary, your insight, knowledge and your cognitive development. Reading also prevents cognitive decline, helps you better focus and helps make you become more empathetic.
Reading can be motivational, which can help you feel more confident, become a better communicator.
Reading is one of the greatest way to spend your free time while you are spending so much time indoors.
