when I'm feeling tense, when I'm preoccupied with things that scatter my attention then I can't really focus on a book. On the other hand, when I feel like I have life under control reading becomes the most enjoyable thing.
I feel the same way too and it usually happens when I want to see a movie too. I have some books in my library and some movies on Netflix and until this busy life of mine calms down I won’t be able to read or watch anything.
Yes it works with movies too! I think there are ways to work on your important things and still set aside time for reading/watching movies but it requires serious work ethic and releasing some of that tension and need for control.
I totally agree with you dear friend, tension out relaxation in
