Struggling to find time to read your favorite wellness books? Reading does not only have to be reserved for when on vacation, try to slip in just a few pages in the morning while drinking your coffee or tea, on your lunch break, or before bed. Reading positivity and mindfulness focused books in the morning will help you to be more motivated and for your day and reading them before bed will help to relax the mind and allow for a more peaceful sleep.
