Maybe this is a strange question but here i go....there are so many,many different blogs and books to read about personal wellness and development. I feel like my mind doesn't know which direction to go. I'm reading a book right now called "Panic to Power" by Lucinda Bassett. Good book so far, but i'm having a little problem reading. Sometimes when I read my mind starts to wander mid sentence, without even realizing, and five minutes pass and I just realized what happened and i'm thinking about something not even related to the reading. This happens when I read other stuff too like blog posts or emails...OR I'm reading something and I start thinking about how I am reading, "should I read aloud" "should I read within my mind", am i doing this right?? weirdddd and annoying, i just wanna read the darn things like everyone else. How come other people can read books in two days, but it takes me a month to finally get through it. I'm still reading and haven't finished reading "The Prophet" by Khalil Gibran, and I started that back in September!
.... I picked up two more books today, "Power of Now" and "New Earth" by Eckhart Tolle. I want to really jump into these and get this knowledge NOW, but I don't think my mind or my comprehensive mind is trying to work with me.
Any advice on how to read better, stay focused reading, and get the most out of what I am reading. I want to know everything so I can be better and better, but I don't think my mind is trying to keep up...
