Letting Go of My Reading Goal

Lately, nawawalan na ko ng time and energy magbasa. And nafi-feel bad ako about it until narealize ko na hindi naman dapat. Initially, I felt bad dahil baka hindi ko ma-reach yung goal ko na 50 books this year. Napatigil ako bigla and napaisip. Sa mga bago at interesting information na natutunan ko from reading this past few months, ilang percent yung na-retain sakin? Parang ang konti lang. Hindi kaya sa sobrang dami kong nabasa, na-jumble na masyado yung utak ko which resulted to less retention? Hindi ba mas maganda kung I read less books pero mas madami akong naaalala?

At yung isa pa, I already read 27 books this year and I have to remind myself that it’s nothing to scoff at. For a lot of people, it’s already an achievement. So parang ang useless nung pagka feel bad ko. But I would still like to be able to read more than I usually do. Pero siguro less pressure from myself na lang.

I’m currently reading The Healing Self (my non-fiction pick) and Tokyo Ever After (our book club book of the month). So far nag-eenjoy ako pareho sa kanila and malapit ko na matapos yung The Healing Self. I chose this book dahil baka makatulong sa chronic condition ko. I’m taking meds pero gusto kong samahan ng ibang approach para holistic yung pag-improve ko.

Konti na lang

Ayun. Kelangan ko nang mag-exercise para makaligo na ko para makakain na ko para makapag farm na ko ng SLP. Good morning!
