\"summer<\/p>\n

This summer let’s thrive on self care where we rejuvenate all summer long! Summer is beckoning us outside to enjoy more Vitamin D, fresh air and greenery. Make this your summer of self care.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Read or listen to a book<\/h3>\n

Take a cue from the many book clubs and grab a summer bestseller. You can read an audio book too. Choose your favorite genre to enjoy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hydrate with fresh fruit and a beverage station<\/h3>\n

Add berries or cucumber to your usual tumbler of water.\u00a0 Keep a pitcher of water handy with lemon slices floating in it. Add fun to festivities with a summer beverage station<\/a>, including adult and kiddo beverages for you and your playmates to enjoy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Exercise outside<\/h3>\n

Summer is the perfect time for an early morning walk since it’s light much earlier. You can find a water exercise class to end your day. Remember your sunscreen and bug spray too.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Enjoy the seasonal green stuff<\/h3>\n

Head to a Farmers’ Market, a berry farm or grow a garden. Nurturing ourselves by cherishing our food reminds us of where we get our food is important.\u00a0 We are for sure what we eat. Fluff up a salad for lunch and dinner to get all your 5 a day veggies.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Disconnect from your devices<\/h3>\n

Having time away from technology helps clear your mind.\u00a0 Set your device aside for a certain amount of time. You can unplug for an hour or a day, whatever feels more freeing.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Take a day off<\/h3>\n

Be in touch with your younger self with a list of summer fun. Don’t forget making homemade ice cream, taking a trip to a water park, enjoy a day at the beach or the pool, make s’mores, or do something special that reminds you of summer camp.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Meet a friend for a picnic<\/h3>\n

Gather up treats and head to a shady park to meet a friend for lunch or an early dinner. Be a support and get support while you catch up on news.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Be creative<\/h3>\n

Summer invites us to be more artistic and creative.\u00a0 Choose fun art mediums like water colors or chalk for self expression. Snap some artistic photos with your smart phone. Keep it simple and easy to be creative.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Start a new interest<\/h3>\n

Have you wanted to paint pottery, play the guitar or take up scuba?\u00a0 Start a new interest during the summer. With the longer daylight, it feels like there is more time in the day.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Vacation or Staycation<\/h3>\n

Pull out your calendar right now and schedule time away. That time can be physically away or away from work.\u00a0 Setting the date is the first step to really committing to time off the grid. Prep for your time away a week ahead with lists, packing, and organizing. While away, stay in the moment and enjoy the time.<\/p>\n
