Summer is starting and with summer comes the perfect time to switch things up. It is easier to try new things at home and then try and continue those habits back into the school year.
1. Get into a fitness routine
During the summer, it may be hard to not have as strict a schedule as you usually do at school. To help structure my day a little more, I plan a workout to make sure that I get out of bed and start being productive. By putting something planned at the beginning of my day, I find myself being more productive while also getting in better shape.
2. Try new foods
Summer is the perfect time to go outside of your comfort zone to try new, healthy foods. I think summer is the perfect time for this because if you are away at school, it may be harder to get a hold of different foods. So being at home with a car is the perfect time to go and try new things.
3. Practice mindfulness
Spending time alone will help you gather your thoughts and feelings. When I find myself overwhelmed or not wanting to do anything, I take a minute to myself to listen to what I am feeling.
4. Surround yourself with people who make you happy
After spending a year in college starting over and making new friends, I find that I know myself better than I have before. I now realize how important it is to surround yourself with people who make you feel loved and supported. Continuing this into the summer, will make you much more happy.
5. Get out of your comfort zone
By trying new things and challenging youself, you can become more confident in your abilities and maybe find something new that you love!
