Summertime
Activities
Honor the energy of summer by creating a “joy board”—a visual collage of what makes you feel alive, free, and empowered. Unlike a vision board, this isn’t about goals—it’s about pleasure, vitality, and presence. Let it remind you that feeling good is a form of clarity.
Channel your heat - don’t burn out:
Body: Practice cooling breath (sipping air through pursed lips), and add aloe, cucumber, mint, or coconut water to your day. Avoid excess caffeine or spicy foods, especially during peak heat hours.
Mind: Replace pressure with pleasure. Set down your to-do list and ask: What would feel energizing—not depleting—right now?
Space: Dim the lights. Open the windows at dawn or dusk. Create “cool corners” in your home with calming scents, natural textures, and soft fabrics.
Wear light, breathable fabrics in colors that reflect your mood—yellows, soft golds, and sky blues to evoke strength, joy, and clarity.
Spend time near water—whether it’s swimming, soaking your feet, or just listening to a fountain. Let water recalibrate your internal fire.
Rest during peak heat. Emulate nature—when the sun is at its highest, animals seek shade and stillness. Allow yourself to pause and soften.
Try belly-down rest poses or light twists to regulate the solar plexus and settle digestive fire. Hands on your belly, breathe into your power without forcing it.
Create a solar mist—combine filtered water, a few drops of citrus or floral essential oils, and a small crystal. Use it to refresh your skin and energy midday.
Diffuse or wear essential oils that cool and uplift: peppermint, lemongrass, ylang ylang, sweet orange, or geranium.
Make a summer playlist with songs that feel like golden hour. Let it hold the energy of ease, movement, and inner fire.
Dance barefoot. Let your body move with the rhythm of your own solar energy. No choreography—just intuition and joy.
Take yourself on a solo summer date—sit in the sun with a book, go to the farmer’s market, or journal outside. Be your own best company.
Reflect, meditate, attend a sound bath, or simply sit in quiet. Summer is not just outward—it can also be a time to refine your truth and listen inward, beneath the heat and light.
