Reading is to mind what exercise is to body. I can't stress this enough when you read your vocabulary increases and when you read books related to personal health or other important stuff your knowledge increases and when you read fiction books your sentence formation and conversation abilities increase. you can read any books or articles you love. Here are some of my favorite books of all time:

  • The power of your subconscious mind by Dr. Joseph Murphy : Amazon
  • 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey : Amazon

 

2. Drawing 

"Art is what you can't explain in words" art is a form of expression just like our language and facial expressions. but its much deeper and requires and intense amount of emotional intelligence to understand that. when we draw we express our inner self, a reflection of our feeling and chaos inside us. When we put it all out on paper we feel light. As all our burden of feeling was place out evenly in a form of beautiful art and it doesn't even matters if your artwork is good or bad. The person with the right eyes can still find the beauty and emotion inside the art. It doesn't costs much you just need a pencil an eraser and a lot of emotions to crave out your art. Even I am an artist I put my soul out on paper here: Artist_khokhar - Instagram
