| Kill Your Readers Block Mood |
Somehow it is not possible to cross a paragraph. There is no book lover who has never faced this strange problem.
Let's talk about this Reader's Block today. We will share how to overcome readers' block quickly!
What is the reader's block?
The problem of not being able to read books is called 'Reader's Block'. It is common to get stuck in a hurry to read a book.
But after reading a book for months, the problem of not being able to start a new book is known as Reader's Block for book lovers.
Why is the reader's block?
Reader's Block can originate from anywhere. However, it is mainly seen when starting a new book or after a few days to start reading again. There may be different reasons for each person. Like:
After finishing a huge novel, the rash remains for a long time. It is not possible to get into a new book even if you want to.
It is not uncommon for a reader's block to be created. Especially when you pick up a new book after finishing an old book.
If you read a few books by the same author or the same genre, the same pattern is embedded in the mind. Due to the same pattern, then aversion to the book can work.
Not every book has the same story. It is possible to read page after page fascinated by the knot of a story. Again, no book is so tight. Then the temporary Reader's Block was created.
Many times the reader starts reading the book to keep himself away from the surrounding problems. At that time, the story is good, but it may not touch your mind.
It's not unreasonable to create a Reader's Block from there. Readers can also be blocked by suffering from mental instability.
How to overcome readers' block?
There are many ways to get rid of the Reader's Block. But the first thing that is needed is to create confidence that I will read books by myself.
Because, after being stuck in the Reader's Block for a long time, the dormant desire to read books dies in many people. Which should not be allowed to be done.
Be Entertained
The first and most important thing in reading a book is the pleasure of the mind. If you do not find joy in reading a book, then there is no point in reading that book.
If you do not like to read a book, or lose focus without starting then it’s ok. Don't force it. Because, far from cutting the reading block forcefully, it can increase it. Instead, leave the book for a later time.
Try Differently
Sometimes going out of your familiar boundaries helps to get your mind back. It is not uncommon to read a few books of the same genre and get disgusted with books of that genre.
You can try any other genre book to overcome that disgust. Turns out someone likes contemporary novels. But if you get bored of reading it, you can try thriller or fantasy genre books.
The old love of reading books can bring back the diversity of reading. Mind it.
Use Audio book
Many people still do not consider audiobooks to be 'reading books'. According to them, the real taste of reading books is not available with the books read by others.
But audiobooks are a very useful medium to cut the reader's block. From paper books to ear-listening books, the taste of reading books will bring innovation.
Take Rest
Even after all this, if you can not concentrate on reading the book, then take a break. Stay away from reading books for a day or two. But don't lose touch with the book. Try again!
Sometimes reading too many books puts pressure on the mind, then even the most pleasant reading seems inedible.
Don't take it hardly
Even if it sounds bad, it is said for your good, stop reading books for a few days instead of leaving the habit of reading books for a lifetime.
In the case of writers, it is said that to improve the quality of writing, you must read a lot of good writing. Well writing does not mean that a book is thick.
If you feel bad, you can sit down with a small book or comics or article. Even if you sit with a very good book against your wish or in your mind, you can see that the book is boring to you.
Once you do not get a response from the heart, there will be no interest in that book forever.
Touch Your Book
Do not read the book! Instead create distance with them! So then what happens? Look at the books at least a little bit every day. Or go to the library and see the latest of your favorite popular books.
If you want, you can also make a booklist to read in the future. This will not diminish interest in the book.
And those who are worried about textbooks, they can create a personal schedule by looking at the contents.
When you sit down to read after a week, do not have to think too much about which chapter to start reading.
No Reading Zone
If you want to take a break from reading, it is better to take a break from mechanical life. Leave the busy city and spend a few days in the touch of calm nature.
Even here, it can not be tried against the wish. Wondering what to tell your parents? First, commit to yourself, use this vacation to rest your brain.
And in the gap of this rest, you have to tell the brain that if you want to get such a holiday again, you have to cooperate fully in the study.
Accordingly, explain to the parents, you are always ready to read the state of imagination rather than getting lost in the realm of imagination by keeping the pages of the book open in front of your eyes.
Maybe it might work! But there is no doubt that the brain will thank you for this holiday.
Make A Reader's Block Friend
If you share your reader's block problem with someone like a good reader, do not make more depression a companion!..
Instead, try to find a friend who suffers from Reader's Block. You can also plan together by sharing your mind. At least you don't feel alone.
Try Short Comedy
Robin Williams is a famous comedian. Let's say he's your favorite comedian too. Now go straight to Google and search Robin Williams' best comedy.
Read them and laugh openly. When you finish reading Robin Williams' comedy, you can search for his favorite quotes. Or read about some other famous comedians of his time. I think it will help you a lot.
Try Your Favorite One
If you are very eager to read, then there is no alternative to re-reading your most favorite book again.
Maybe you memorize every page of the book, maybe you have seen them wandering around you while imagining each character.
That's why take the book in your hands again. Feel with your heart its affinity with you. This book will lead you to other books. By the way, in the case of text books, start with the most favorite topic.
Warming Up
Reading block begins when reading a book seems to be a task rather than a pleasure in reading. Remember that reading a book is not a task, but a pleasure of the mind. When you lose the joy of something, you can't concentrate.
