I am currently reading a novel and a magazine. Not at the same time, of course. I alternate between chapters and features. I am treasuring my free time because I get to immerse myself in plots and portraits. I do not get to read this much when I am working, so this is a welcome respite. I am reading, I am enjoying, and I am coping. Being unemployed does not mean that my mind has to be stuck. I prefer to keep my imagination on its toes and my brain informed. There has to be a way to remain sharp even in leisure. For me, my method is reading. It keeps me focused and it inspires me to workout. Nothing like information overload can keep me going during workouts. Exercise is also a mental endeavor. So let me feed my mind while sculpting myself. Let me build my brain bank while saving myself from muscle atrophy. Let me be free, while finding my next opportunity.
