5. Being Present
Since we spend more time outdoors often in nature during the summer, it is great time to develop a greater ability to stay in the present moment because being in nature makes it easier to stay in the now. By letting go of thoughts concerning the past or the future and being in the now we can increase our enjoyment of the summer.
6. Positive Awareness
Often our minds can get stuck in judging each experience which reduces our enjoyment of things that we might be able to enjoy if only we could accept it as it is and experience it fully. As you go about your way this summer, remember to focus on the positive parts of your summer. Positive affirmations can work really well for this. You can write your own and read them every morning or evening before bed.
7. Balanced Fun
Summer is often a time when we might be tempted to overdue things we enjoy and it can get us out of balance. This can lead to feeling less healthy and peaceful. As you enjoy your summer remember that you will have a deeper more satisfying summer if you stay connected to your own center and inner guidance.
