We all think about summer as a time to relax, go to the beach, and simply soak in the sun. It’s true, summer is a wonderful time to go on vacation. Although, if we do not plan out our days purposefully, the unstructured routines can lead to poor mental health, lack of exercise and haze of idleness.
This year, how about taking it a bit further by being a part of Global Wellness Day and investing in your wellbeing with a rejuvenating experience at BodyHoliday, let us explain how to spend a summer focused on being healthy and happy both mentally and physically, all the while having fun.
How to Stay Physically Active and Energized This Summer
During the summer we all tend to be a bit more lenient on ourselves. Whether that means heading out for ice-cream or staying up late and skipping the workout, it’s all part of the seasonal fun. Good news! It is possible to maintain and enhance physical well-being without feeling like it’s a chore.
Intention-Led Activities at BodyHoliday
While “exercising” may feel like a chore, it doesn’t have to be. With summer comes fresh beaches ready for long walks, sunset yoga, paddleboarding, swimming, hiking, and so much more. Did you know that indulging in physical activities can also uplift your mood? This is made possible by the secretion of endorphins, hormones that boost your mood and are released during activities.
Hydrate and Nourish Mindfully
With all the fun activities to do during summer, dehydration becomes a serious concern. With increased outdoor activities, make it a necessity to carry a reusable water bottle with you and for a bit more pizazz , feel free to infuse your water with cucumbers, lemon, mint or any fresh fruit or vegetable to your taste.
Fuel Your Body With Nutrient Dense Foods
During summer, farmers markets blossom with a diversity of fresh, vibrant produce to enjoy. Not only is there an abundance of berries, leafy greens, zucchini, and tomatoes, but also an array of nutrient-rich vegetables. By filling your plate with these options, you can fend off the added temptation of processed snack foods. Best of all, these options make it possible to help the body avoid detox breaks.
Avoid Summer Pitfalls and Build Healthy Habits
During summertime, all the fun things to do may motivate you to lead a healthier lifestyle, but be careful as without you knowing, you may end up adding new bad habits.
Drinking Too Much Alcohol
Drinking by a poolside may seem harmless but excessive consumption can lead to negative effects such as dehydration, increased weight, and poor sleep. Make sure to limit your intake and consume water in between. Additionally, you can try refreshing coconut water or herbal iced tea.
Sleep Schedule Changes
Sleep schedules might be disrupted due to long hectic days coupled with late night activities. Whenever possible, try to associate a sleep time with a fixed bedtime, and prepare a wind-down routine which can be practiced even while traveling.
Ignoring Mental Health
It’s easy to prioritise physical adventures and forget emotional self-care during the summer. These increased social interactions and trips can allow for anxiety and stress to creep in without notice thus maintaining practices like journaling or mindfulness will help support emotional balance.
Focusing On The Mind And The Emotions
While we often talk about “getting fit” for summer, true health encompasses the mind and emotions as much as the body.
Set Aside Daily Moments To Be Mindful
Mindfulness is not defined by meditating for hours. Rather, mindfulness covers being present in any situation. And these moments whether it is feeling the sun on your face or intentionally building relationships with others- it makes a difference.
Establish a Self-Care Routine
Include self-care on your calendar as if it were a workout. A morning stroll, a nap in the afternoon, or an evening gratitude ritual can all serve as self-care. Self-care in the form of self-love will improve your mental health, which, in turn, enhances every other facet of your life.
Look for Help if Needed
If you find that stress or anxiety is impacting your summer enjoyment, reach out for help. You do not have to go through emotional struggles by yourself.
