Encouragement Challenge: Increase Your Smarts

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” – Dr. Seuss

I don’t know about you, but I love to exercise my brain. I love to experience new things through the lives of characters in books, travel to places that I might never visit, and spend time reflecting on how I can improve areas of my life through self-help books and podcasts.

The problem: there never seems to be enough time in the day to fit in a good amount of reading and yet I always feel so much better when I take the time to do so.

Encouragement Challenge: Increase Your Smarts

This week our challenge is to pick a book, audiobook, or podcast and make it your priority. Embrace a new genre, learn about a new culture, gain knowledge on a task you’ve been hoping to complete, or just read for pure enjoyment. The choice is up to you.

Don’t know what to choose? I’ve left a few of my own recommendations below, just in case.

Book/Audio Book Recommendations

Of course, I have so many books I recommend, but these are a few that I love and return to frequently.

Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers

P.S. I Love You by Cecilia Ahern

Julie by Catherine Marshall

Girl, Wash Your Face by Rachel Hollis

Podcast Recommendations

All of the podcasts I listen to are typically in the “build your own business” category, but here are a few, just in case you’re into that kind of thing.

Build Your Tribe with Chalene Johnson

The Goal Digger Podcast with Jenna Kutcher

The Happy Hour with Jamie Ivey

Finally…

Leave a comment below with the book, audiobook, and/or podcast you plan to read or listen to this week. Not only will it give me an opportunity to cheer you on, but I just might find another book to add to my list!
