It’s a great opportunity to regroup and will help you be a better problem-solver. </span></span></span></p><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 4pt; margin-top: 18pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Ask for Help</span></span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #7f6000;">You should never be ashamed to</span></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><a href="https://www.mother.ly/life/mama-you-cant-do-it-all-so-please-delegate/" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">ask for help</span></span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #7f6000;">as a busy mom.

Surprisingly, it doesn’t actually take too long to become an accredited scuba diving instructor, and it creates such a wide range of opportunities for you to travel all over the world doing what you love. You will be working alongside people who are keen to learn and in a happy mood because they’re on vacation, so it’s certainly an uplifting job to have.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: georgia; font-size: large; font-weight: 700; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: georgia; font-size: large; font-weight: 700; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Teaching</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: georgia; font-size: large; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: georgia; font-size: large; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Teaching is another career path that can provide you with a deep sense of fulfillment, especially when you’re working with little ones that may not be growing up with the same privileges as you did. When you become a teacher, it opens up so many doors to work abroad, go on placements and even move permanently to another country if that’s what you’re hoping to do. Teaching may be a career that is full of ups and downs, but the positives of this type of career certainly outweigh the negatives, especially when you get to travel.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: georgia; font-size: large; font-weight: 700; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: georgia; font-size: large; font-weight: 700; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Truck Driving</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: georgia; font-size: large; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">This is such a well-paid job that allows you a huge amount of flexibility in your work schedule too. Truck driving is often underrated by people as a potential career path, but there’s a reason why so many people do it. You can often earn long periods of time off; you get to see new places and there are a lot of perks that go hand in hand with the job too.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: georgia; font-size: large; font-weight: 700; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: georgia; font-size: large; font-weight: 700; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Travel Blogging</span></p><span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #7f6000; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">If you’re even a tiny bit interested in writing, social media and traveling the world, then </span><a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/seven-reasons-to-become-a_b_9684602" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #3d85c6; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">travel blogging</span></a><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> <span style="color: #7f6000;">is certainly something you should look into as a potential career path. Although it may take some time to break into the travel blogging industry, there is so much to learn from starting out and getting into the nitty gritty of this lifestyle.

Remember, finding a career that you love may take some time, so it’s important to be as patient as possible with yourself. In many cases, you may need to try out a handful of job roles before you land on the ideal one to suit your skills, experiences and personal interests. Once you have found the best opportunities for you and your lifestyle, you’re bound to enjoy every moment of your new freeing and fulfilling career.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: georgia; font-size: large; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: georgia; font-size: large; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="background-color: white;">*This is a collaborative post thanks for reading! :)</span></span></p><div><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></div></span>Shaunahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13780614646408617149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-804541974535348277.post-57982922101749924942024-02-12T22:30:00.001-07:002024-02-13T09:45:17.390-07:00I love good doggie dental care products...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhkDlA6s-sDxpaBIh6nc1XCGlIdBu0f9Unt8ZpeaXl9vXA9laLh-a3e9sasbNNkYiD6njFuPLobztJ2QCJC7LYjZwj7Op6pzj14gQHKeNWv8Gteb9EuVPeTplTyebcjfDDVQ7lP8a1wkMeNr6gnSwmx4i54LXigzK4naGZOSwwYH2DsYaaGCddGMMS7LmBH" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img alt="Dog wearing sunglasses" data-original-height="213" data-original-width="320" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhkDlA6s-sDxpaBIh6nc1XCGlIdBu0f9Unt8ZpeaXl9vXA9laLh-a3e9sasbNNkYiD6njFuPLobztJ2QCJC7LYjZwj7Op6pzj14gQHKeNWv8Gteb9EuVPeTplTyebcjfDDVQ7lP8a1wkMeNr6gnSwmx4i54LXigzK4naGZOSwwYH2DsYaaGCddGMMS7LmBH=w320-h213" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="post-body entry-content" style="background-color: white;"><p style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px 0px 0.75em;"></p><p style="color: #6f3c1b; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6em; margin: 0px 0px 0.75em;"></p><span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">Since it is a new year, we are excited to have one of our goals be to focus on health and wellness.

The layout and design of a store play an essential part in producing the ideal customer experience. Think about things such as whether your shop is simple to navigate the aisles. Is your product easy to seek out, and is it simple to seek out the value of your product? These issues are all important elements in developing a customer experience that is positive. </span></span></p><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 18pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Transparent pricing and policies are vital </span></span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">One of the easiest ways to lose trust is by having hidden fees or unexplained pricing. This can be accomplished by displaying your pricing and any promotions or additional add-on fees associated with the product or service you are advertising. Develop your return and exchange policies and portray those as well. Most importantly, be honest in your pricing and policies. By allowing your customers to view your pricing and policies easily and quickly, you reassure them that they are shopping with an honest company.</span></span></p><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 18pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Personalize interactions with every customer</span></span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Embrace customization and personalization to make customers feel valued and appreciated.

Workshops, product demonstrations, or exclusive previews can all help get customers into your store, not only to shop but also to experience your store and what it represents. These events not only engage customers but also place your store as the spot for social and cultural activities.</span></span></p><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 18pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Focus on the best customer service</span></span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">This is a fundamental principle for building trust and engagement.

Include people’s social handles when you can and feature social from your customers on your website. Authentic content from your customers is a great way to get more reach on social media via word-of-mouth marketing.</span></span></p><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 18pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Create spaces for relaxation</span></span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Have a small portion of the store set up like a relaxation zone where they can take a couple of minutes to sit down comfortably and enjoy a drink.

When they are younger, they will just eat what you make them (in theory), but as they get older, they are going to start to understand what they are eating more. It’s at this point that you need to start explaining their diet to them so that they know the importance of eating all of their fruits and vegetables for example. A lot of kids don’t want to do this because they are healthy, because they don’t taste as good as foods that are loaded with sugar, but it’s important that they are getting all of the nutrients that they need.</span></span></span></span></p><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">For older kids, you need to explain the role of vegetables and why they are important.

They’re boring and they require some level of concentration which a lot of kids don’t really have, so you have got to make this fun. Most kids get their exercise from running around outside and generally existing to play. But, if your child is one of the more reserved ones that doesn’t really run around too much, then you need to try to encourage them to move a little more. For example, you can try pushing them towards a sport in their free time, but you do need to be careful that you’re not forcing it on them. This is going to have the opposite effect if you’re not careful, and that’s what we need you to remember.</span></span></p><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="color: #783f04;">Sometimes if you exercise with them this will help</span> </span><a href="https://spokester.com/blogs/news/how-to-make-exercise-fun-for-kids" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">encourage them to enjoy it a little more</span></span></a><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="color: #783f04;">.

You never know when something is going to happen and you’re the only thing that stands between your kids and a fatal occurrence. For example, if they end up choking on something, and they likely will at some point, you need to know what steps to take. Of course this is going to include hitting their back in the hopes of dislodging the item, but what if it goes further than this? You should ideally get some CPR training to be on the safe side. Do your research and check into different bodies who can get you trained here.

We understand that this can be tough, especially if you have older kids who like their privacy, but that’s okay. You don’t need to invade their privacy to have open and honest communication with them. You need to lead by example though, so if there is something that you want to talk about with your kids, you need to do so in the proper way.</span></span></span></p><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Doing this will ensure that their mental health stays in the best possible condition, as they always feel as though they can be honest about what they are thinking and feeling. It’s tough sometimes to hear some of the thoughts that go on in a child’s head, but this doesn’t mean that you have done anything wrong. Being there to support their mental health and ensure that you are doing everything you can to make them feel better is what is important here.</span></span></p><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Show Up For Them</span></span></p><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">As a parent, one of the most important things that you can do for your child is to show up. No matter where, no matter when, when they need you, you need to be there. There are going to be times where this feels impossible, but we know that you can do it. When they need you, they need to be able to count on you. Showing up for your kids helps to build trust, and if they trust you then they will find it easier to allow you to take care of their mental and physical health.</span></span></p><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="color: #783f04;">While</span><span style="color: #3d85c6;"> </span></span><a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/gb/blog/going-beyond-intelligence/202204/how-and-why-it-s-important-show-your-child#:~:text=Parents%20who%20%22show%20up%22%20for,quantity%20matters%2C%20not%20just%20quality." style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">showing up for them</span></span></a><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> <span style="color: #783f04;">doesn’t impact their health directly, it’s definitely one of the things that contributes to their mental health and their sense of self worth.

However, neglecting yourself could lead you down a dark path.

Don’t settle for a career you no longer care about or have the drive for - it’s only going to cause you more stress. A career should be something you’re passionate about, so why not take a look at some online courses in fields you’re interested in. It doesn’t mean you have to quit your job immediately either; rather take steps to move into a career that’s going to excite you and challenge you in all the right ways.</span></span></p><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 18pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Have time to yourself</span></span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #783f04;"><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;">Being around the people you love the most is indescribable.

Use this time for self-care, whether that’s finally getting around to doing your favorite hobby or taking a much needed soak in the bath with a bath bomb is completely up to you.

Without an organized plan in place, it's easy to lose motivation or slip back into unhealthy behaviors. Before setting goals for yourself, set clear and measurable objectives so as not to fall off track later on. Set achievable goals - whether that means losing weight, running a certain distance, or making time for regular workouts each week - that will give you something tangible to work toward. Once set, set up your workout schedule. Your fitness plan should accommodate your personal preferences and daily schedule, making sure it can be maintained over the long term. Be sure to incorporate cardio, strength training and flexibility exercises for an all-rounded fitness program. It is also essential to plan out meals beforehand. Balanced eating is key to reaching fitness goals and staying on the right path. Although starting a fitness regime may take considerable planning and dedication, its rewards in terms of improved health and well-being more than make up for its costs.</span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 18pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Maintain Your Mental Health</span></span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Part of living an organized life includes taking good care to preserve both physical and mental health.

There are other options and other people who can help out at the times where you aren’t able.</span></p><span style="color: #7f6000;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #7f6000; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Sometimes You Need To Make Some Tough Decisions</span></p><span style="color: #7f6000;"><br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #7f6000; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Lastly, there may come a time that nobody wants. When you have to start the difficult discussions of who is going to look after them when they aren’t able to. If they can stay in their own home, then there are relatives and carers that can come in to offer support. However, when they can’t, what happens then? Will your parents willingly go into a care home?</span></p><span style="color: #7f6000;"><br /><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">At some point, this might be the only option. This might be especially true if you don’t have room in your own house for them. Take a look around different care homes and see where you and your parents feel most comfortable.

It’s not always easy to achieve this goal, we know that’s true, but there are steps that you can take to make it easier for yourself. Nothing in life that is worth having is ever going to come easy, and that’s what we encourage you to remember. The good news is that if you’re not sure where to start with this, we’ve got some advice for you, and we’re going to be discussing it down below.

Of course, the smaller ones aren’t going to be too much of a problem, but the larger ones need to be thought out carefully.

But the question still remains: which one is the people’s choice? Admittedly, books are a very important part of human storytelling. Still, there is something about movies that has increased their popularity over the years. Although both materials are special in their own way, you cannot ignore that people will choose movies over novels. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Here are some reasons why this is so.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></p><ol style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-inline-start: 48px;"><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; list-style-type: decimal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">It doesn’t consume your time</span></span></p></li></ol><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Sure, books can allow your mind to travel to places, but the time involved in finishing one is long. The truth is, not everyone has enough time for this, especially if work gets in the way. For these reasons, people will choose to watch their favorite movies and TV shows; it doesn’t waste their time, and they can follow the story with ease. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></p><ol start="2" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-inline-start: 48px;"><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; list-style-type: decimal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Movies are a friend of sustainability</span></span></p></li></ol><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Sure, many books have digital versions that people can read from their smart devices. But you don't have to be rocket scientists to understand that there are still many book fans out there who cannot stop hoarding physical copies. This may mean that several trees will be used. However, producing a film doesn’t require this process. Therefore, instead of collecting paper that will eventually destroy trees and litter the environment, consider streaming a movie online.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></p><ol start="3" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-inline-start: 48px;"><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; list-style-type: decimal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">The intensity of the movies is outstanding</span></span></p></li></ol><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">A book can make you feel like a character in the story, but the appeal may end there. On the other hand, movies can be more intense due to the stunning visuals and ambient music and sounds. This helps them provide a more emotional experience, which is what entertainment is about.

Aside from this, your loved ones may not be keen on reading. This is where movies come in. You can react to hilarious moments or analyze the plot of the movie.

Films have the power to reach larger audiences thanks to their superior accessibility. The audio-visual features of movies allow people with different abilities, language barriers, and learning preferences to enjoy the stories to the maximum. On the other hand, physical books are prone to wear and tear, not to mention the extra space they consume in a home.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></p><ol start="7" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-inline-start: 48px;"><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; list-style-type: decimal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Showcasing cinematic techniques</span></span></p></li></ol><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #7f6000;">With films, cinematographers can display their artistic talents through framing, lighting, and</span></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><a href="https://www.movavi.com/learning-portal/cinematic-techniques.html" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">cinematic techniques</span></span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #7f6000;">for all to admire and praise.
