Ke Dezemba, Ke SUMMER! Ho monate!
This is an active and fun time for everyone, but it can also come with a lot of neglect on ourselves.
So, Iβve prepared a list of 10 must doβs (in no particular order) this summer to keep you sane and fresh throughout the season.
1. Journal as much as you can. Listen, people will be testing your patience this season, so put some of those feelings down and keep your peace of mind. Plus there will be a lot happening so take pics, write about it, keep a fun record for yourself to look back on in the future.
2. It goes without saying that nature is incredibly healing. So go out there and enjoy it.
3. Love on yourself a whole lot this season. Go to spas, set up a home spa, keep up with your hygiene, and do anything that gives you joy.
4. Socialise! Yes even you the self proclaimed introvert. Be with people you love or meet new people. Put yourself out there.
5. HYDRATE! Donβt let the sun beat you down. Eat some watery fruits like watermelon, keep a full water bottle with you and stay hydrated.
6. Explore your area. Some of you are home for the holidays or vacationing. Whichever it is, explore your surroundings, go camping even. Get to know the culture and stories from that area. Fall in love with where youβre from or where you are.
7. Get a lot of rest in between all that exploring and socialising. Itβs been a long year, so take some time to chill. Rejuvenate yourself and set yourself up for a successful year ahead.
8. Mate youβll be seeing a lot of family and friends this festive season so set clear boundaries for yourself. Be firm about what you can and are willing to do. Donβt allow yourself to have a terrible summer because you couldnβt find it in you to tell Rakhali h**e hao likene.
9. Be active. This looks different for everyone. It could be going to the gym, practicing yoga, hiking (easy way to be out in nature and explore your town π). This also helps you sleep better.
10. And most importantly, do not forget to lather that sunscreen all over your body. Even if itβs cloudy outside or raining since it is the rainy season after all, use that sunscreen. Take care of that skin.
If you canβt do them all, focus on 5, 7 & 10.
