Here are five ways to take better care during the summer:

Seasonal Self-care Tip 1: Hone Your Power

Summer represents a time of energy and passion. You can feel, see, and connect to the aliveness of the world around you.

• Find a local Reiki healer and cleanse your energy.
• Use a divination method to gain inspiration and direction using oracle/tarot cards, runes, or a pendulum, to name a few.
• Find affirmations that make you feel powerful and repeat them in the mirror each morning.

Seasonal Self-care Tip 2: Dance

It is one of the most ancient and primal ways we, as humans, express ourselves. Find your rhythm and move to the music.

• Dance around a bonfire or maypole.
• Take a belly dancing class at a local studio.
• Turn on any song that makes you feel alive and dance at home.

Seasonal Self-care Tip 3: Honor the Sun

The sun is at the height of its power. Let in the light and celebrate the world of warmth and growth.

• Practice Sun Salutations.
• Celebrate the summer solstice (the longest day of the sun).
• Make sun water. Charge water in a glass under the sun for healing and/or rituals.

Seasonal Self-care Tip 4: Gather Outdoors

Gather with loved ones outside in the warmth and sunshine. Soak up all that summer has to offer. This is the time to socialize.

• Have a scavenger hunt.
• Create feasts of cold and refreshing food and beverages to share.
• Hike and camp together without screens. Talk and be vulnerable.

Seasonal Self-care Tip 5: Bask in Nature

This is the time to get lost in nature. The world is alive, and you should be out in it. Breathe in the natural world and love Mother Nature.

• Take a hike or go forest bathing.
• Set up a backyard birdfeeder or bird bath to support local wildlife.
• Learn about the flora and fauna around you to connect deeply to your homeland.
