I love this! :) lovely stop-motion animation. I know the grief of struggling with an activity that used to be all-consuming for me. Your techniques sound helpful -- having our brains trained to require high and constant stimulation seems to be damaging to our attention spans and our ability to reach a "flow" state during quiet, meditative activities like reading, walking, and drawing. I find it helpful to give myself tiny goals as well -- a chapter (for shorter books) or just reading for 10 minutes feels more approachable than the goal of reading a whole novel.
Oh yes, good points!! Last year I read a few short novels-Carmilla was one-and it was so nice. It led into some longer reading toward the end of the year as well. I also forgot to say in this video that I find rereading quite helpful as well :). Thanks for your lovely comment.
@@papercrowpress Oh yes, I'm a big re-reader! (and re-watcher, etc.) The comfort aspect is huge, but I also appreciate noticing foreshadowing and refreshing my poor memory. Why have I not heard of Carmilla???? It sounds amazing! Thank you, I've cashed in some kindle credits and it's moved to the top of my reading list!
@@papercrowpress Sorry for the late response, it took me ages to finish Carmilla between life and also juggling books like a madwoman but I loved it! 😁 I kind of can't believe it exists, given the time period in which it was written. It's made me want to watch some of the various adaptations to see how they compare.
such a lovely video!!! i’ve also found that reading out loud helps me feel more engaged and get immersed enough to eventually switch over to reading silently. it’s something i’ve been doing since i was a kid, and it’s honestly so fun. feels good to hear someone else does it too 🫶
Yes! It’s been really helpful especially when I’m tired or particularly distracted and/or when the reading is more challenging! Sometimes I feel that my eyes can’t stop jumping around the page and reading aloud helps to keep them more… anchored. Thanks 💗
that I have started reading “childrens” chapter books (coraline, etc.) they are easy and a great way to get back into reading, small books or collections of short stories are pretty effective. Love this vid ❤
ive been similarly really feeling the loss of books and reading from my life, i just today was telling my girlfriend about how much i wanna start again! this video has come to me at the perfect time hehe :) your stop motion is really amazing also i love your doll sets :)
@@papercrowpress I left this comment as more of a place holder really as I didn't have time to write a longer one but I still wanted to boost the video. I wanted to say that you have an extremely charming style, and it's really ingenious to use the medium of stop motion to create something so simply introspective and nice. I hope you have a lovely day :)
I like the voice over and I like the stop motion animation , maybe it's my current headache but I didn’t feel they are connected ? as in the narrator 's giving good advice and meanwhile we see a mini action figure doing house chores. Both great, but not related ? 🤷
😆 i was a bit afraid of this, but my intention was to show Vader doing some chores and walking by himself to demonstrate the idea of doing small things without the company of audio-visual stimuli, and freeing up the brain space to start reading again.
