Practices for Summer

Celebrate! Take advantage of the natural enthusiasm of the Summer and do things that bring you Joy.

Play! Join a team, get on a swing, paddle a boat, laugh with friends, build a sand castle, play hopscotch and blow bubbles.

Work from the Heart. Recall your passions and express yourself from your Heart in everything that you do.

Notice the unique fragrance and presentation of the flowers in bloom. Let yourself blossom and show yourself to the world. See the beauty in those around you.

Rise early in the morning.

Connect with people you may not have seen in awhile. Reach out to neighbors and extend yourself just a little further than you might in cooler months.

Eat summer fruits - raspberries, blueberries, cherries. Focus on what is fresh and growing near you.
