It’s Time for a Summer Recharge!
When we were in school, summer was the time for us to recharge our batteries. We got three whole months to decompress from the school year by taking a mental break, getting more active, and spending time with our family and friends outside of a work setting. Nowadays it has become too easy for us to neglect our body’s need to rest when we are working year round.
That’s why we’re recommending a summer recharge! Prioritize your mental health this season and your body and mind will thank you for it. Recharging can take shape in many forms.
Here is a list of simple ways to recharge this summer:
- Take morning or evening walks
- Go on a weekend hike
- Try new recipes with seasonal fruits and vegetables
- Start a journal
- Have friends and family over for dinner
- Barbecue at a local park
- Take your lunch break outdoors
- Watch a guided yoga video on YouTube
- Call a family member you haven’t spoken to in a while
- Have an electronics free day or weekend
- Spend intentional time with your loved ones
- Go on a family bike ride
- Read a new book or an old favorite
- Try to spend at least 30 minutes outdoors a day
