Summer brings a host of anxieties for everyone. The pressure to be holidaying from social media, to enjoy every second of the sun, and at the same time to look good doing it. Whilst the season of BBQs, beer gardens, and beaches is certainly one to look forward to, it can be ultimately very draining, so we need to keep our bodies and mind in check to ensure we make the most of this wonderful time of year. 

Check out the tips below for some easy ways to keep yourself healthy and thriving this summer.

Yoga 

Regular exercise is vital to maintaining a healthy body and mind. However, this doesn’t mean you have to wake up at 5 am and do an hour HIIT workout or damage your knees running 10 miles a day. On holiday you may not have the time or the desire to do these things, but yoga is the perfect antidote to the fatigued body and mind. Whether you want a dynamic practice such as Vinyasa or you want a slow-moving 15-minute session just to wake yourself up, it’s a moving meditation to nourish the body and soul. You may want to go to a class but if you are on holiday, you can stream an online video. Check out some laptops for streaming so you can practice yoga whenever and wherever you need to.

Nutrition 

Food is such an important aspect of well-being and putting the right things into your body is a no-brainer. Summer holidays often increase your alcohol intake, meals out, and other fun, which you should of course fully indulge in. However, it’s important to nourish your body as well. Try to introduce seasonal ingredients to your summer meals and ensure you are drinking more than enough water to keep yourself hydrated in the heat of the summer sun. 

CBD 

Keep your anxieties at bay by introducing CBD oils into your routine. CBD oils are a great investment, they are proven to reduce stress and interact with serotonin in your brain to leave you feeling uplifted. You can purchase CBD bath bombs and shower products that will have the soothing effect you desire when trying to maintain and regulate a healthy mindset over the summer season. Self-care is such an important part of everyday life and investing in products to aid your mental health is certainly worth doing. However, if CBD doesn’t seem like it would be for you, why not try sprinkling a tiny amount of lavender essential oils on your pillow before bed, the scent can be a calming influence and will induce a truly rejuvenating sleep.

Summer is a time for fun, friends, family, and relaxation. Give the suggestions in this article a go to leave your worries behind and enjoy the season to the full by keeping your body and mind in good shape. Find the balance between letting loose and giving your soul the nourishing support it needs.
