Hey everybody 💛 In my previous video, I shared how burnout made me seriously question my relationship with reading and how trying different reading tips helped me slowly reconnect with the joy of it again 📚✨ In today's video, I’m sharing five more reading tips that helped me rebuild consistency, motivation, and enjoyment, especially on days when reading still felt hard. Some of these focus more on how we set goals, manage our attention, and work with our brains instead of against them 🧠😅
Just like before, I didn’t use these tips perfectly or rigidly. Some days I combined a few of them, and on other days even one small shift was enough to get me reading again, without pressure or guilt. What mattered most was making reading feel fun, rewarding, and sustainable rather than something I “had to” do.

I really hope this helps you too 🤞🏻🌻 Whether you’re trying to get back into reading after a slump, or simply want it to feel more effortless and enjoyable again, you’re definitely not alone in this 💛
