Newspaper is the most important part of our lives. Still, many of us don’t think so for a number of excuses such as: lack of motivation, feeling fatigue, not making out enough time or not at all finding it interesting enough or thinking that the news we get in our device is adequate, but actually, it isn’t.
Compare the information from the newspaper and the one you receive on your device and you’ll understand what is being said. But, what if I tell you that it is the most important thing to do and even if I tell you about some alternatives later on but they will still not be enough in comparison to the advantage of actually reading the news from the newspaper. I have an addiction of reading a newspaper daily. I can’t imagine a day without reading the newspaper, or else I feel woeful if due to any reason I am not able to, which happens twice a year when it’s Independence day and second when it’s my birthday.
Developing a habit of reading a newspaper will really help you in many ways which are describe here:
Perks of reading the newspaper
The biggest advantage of reading a newspaper is that it adds value to you and your personality. It improves your English or any other language in which you are reading it in; it enhances your confidence and it actually make lives easier as you are updated with the current issues, achievements, facts, discoveries, research, laws, events, ideologies, politics, movements, historical facts and what not? It also improves your memory to a certain extent, increases your reading skills and indirectly writing skills, as well. The perks are immense and it doesn’t cost more than a rupee.
What to do to make it a habit?
Making something your habit is not that difficult if you see but maintaining that habit is actually what takes a lot of effort, time, energy and enthusiasm. You need to understand that a newspaper is full of vital information and updates which are important for you, no matter what you are doing, wherever you live; it’s actually immaterial in comparison with what a newspaper can provide you. It can be your best friend at times and your biggest enemy. “Make something your addiction which adds to your self-growth” and yes, a newspaper does add to your self growth. Try to make it a habit and see the transformation in your personality, confidence, knowledge, mental health, and it will definitely help you in giving an edge to whatever you are currently pursuing in life or going to pursue.
The 21-day magic
There’s a little secret that if you want to make a habit of something then try it doing daily for 21 days only with no gap and with no single doubt in your mind. If you want to get rid of any habit, don’t do that thing for 21 days and then see the magic.
Conditions:
Do it consecutively for 21 days with no gap.
Do it with no single doubt in your mind that you’ll accomplish your desired goal.
