Today's baseline is very simple. 

After listening to the first audios and reviewing the transcripts, take a moment to think about the reasons why we talked about reading is awesome.

Here is a quick review of the reasons that we talked about:

1. Reading helps you reclaim your attention. ✔️

2. Reading is great for introverts. ✔️

3. Reading 'slows' down' the language and lets you see the bigger picture. ✔️

4. Reading can dramatically improve your vocabulary. ✔️

5. Reading gives you a big sense of achievement and accomplishment. ✔️

6. Reading immerses you in a new culture and world. ✔️

7. Reading is fun! ✔️

8. Reading is affordable. ✔️

Take a moment (10-15 minutes) to think about which one of these reasons resonates most deeply with you. 

It's totally fine if you have only one reason or if all of the reasons are meaningful to you. 

Feel free just to think about these ideas, write them down on a piece of paper or (even better) record a short audio talking about what is most important for you in this challenge. 

The idea is that you can begin to identify, from the beginning of the challenge, why you are doing this and what is going to motivate you. 

As we continue with the challenge, this reflection will help you prioritize your studies, focus on what is most important to you, and most importantly, keep you motivated and having fun! 

You're awesome, keep up the good work! 💪🏻
