Preparation for these outings may look like going shopping for clothes or items that you need or giving yourself time to save up money to cover your expenses.
At the start of each month be sure to fill in your calendar with your summer plans so that you don’t forget to make time for fun.
If you don’t plan to go on a summer vacation, then find activities and local events that you can attend to make sure you’re enjoying the sunshine and doing things that make you feel happy.
2. Eat With The Summer Season
As the seasons change, so does our body and our nutritional needs. During the colder months, we tend to gravitate toward hearty and comfort foods.
However, now that the temperatures are rising and we be sure to stay hydrated by drinking water, enjoying fruits and vegetables with our meals so that we are taking care of our bodies, and eating foods that help us get energized and feel good.
I plan on eating with the summer season by enjoying vibrant salads, lighter meals, enjoying plenty of fruit, and drinking water throughout the day. Along with eating a balanced diet during the summer, allow yourself to enjoy a few cold treats to help you stay cool and beat the heat this summer.
