It is that time of year again! We all sit down and make a list of what we want to accomplish in the year to come. After years of doing this ritual, it is easy to run out of ideas. Here is our resolution list for our readers.
1.Read more
Read more is always on the top of our list! Make a goal to read one book a month or 6 books in a year. To help, you can join a Treat Your Shelf membership to meet those goals! If you need more advice on how to read more often, read our blog post "How to Find More Time to Read
2.Read a new genre
Some readers can get stuck in just reading the one genre or from the one author they adore. It is easy to play it safe starting a book you're confident you will love. It is time to stop playing it safe! There are so many different genres for all types of readers! Expand your horizons and read something new!
3.Spend more time with friends and family
Family and friends are the most important relationships to nurture! Don't get too caught up in staying home and reading your new book that you forget to socialize and have some fun! One way to do that is join our in person book club! Make new friends, drink wine, have a good time, and discuss some great books!
4.Start a journal
Journals allow us to be self reflective. It allows us to grow and stay grounded. Journals also allow creative freedom! You can write whatever you'd like. If you need some guidance, we suggest you start by writing daily things you're grateful for. It could be as big as being grateful for your relationship with your siblings or as small as being grateful that your boyfriend cooked dinner that night. It is a great habit to start in the new year.
5.Travel to somewhere new
Stop saying "some day" and start saying today! Go see a new place! The world is massive and there is so much to see. Don't let another year go without exploring. You could go to a city that is only a drive a way like reading a book on the beach in Ocean City, MD. You could fly to Costa Rica and smile with sloths. The worlds we read about in our books are just moments away in real life!
Happy New Year’s! We are so excited to start 2023 with you. For more, follow us on Instagram and Youtube @TreatYourShelfLLC
