Spend time in nature
Shady mindful walks, or walking barefoot on grass in the morning
Evening walks during the cooler time of day
Standing in the moonlight an practicing awareness meditation like a simple breathing practice
Swimming
Mindful breaks in natures help us break out of the cycle of rushing and worrying that can really peak anxiety in the Summer.
The simple adjustment of taking steps to keep as cool and relaxed as you can makes a big difference in Summer stress levels.
Avoid iced drinks because ice impairs digestion.
Instead, experiment with the following cooling teas:
Jasmine
Rose
Mint
Coriander
These delicious herbs and flowers provide a gentle cooling effect within the body.
Favour lighter meals, but not too much raw food. Increase sweet tastes and reduce sour and salty tastes.
