What to Consider When Considering Summer

Oh yes, summer has finally arrived. 🙂

Whether you’ve been waiting for it the whole year long or are just realizing it’s that time of year, a summer mindset is a good thing.
Why?
There is something about the summer that says let it go, go crazy, be free. Who knows, maybe this is something that has stayed with us since school time, no obligations, an everything-is-good mindset. Or maybe it’s just the sun forcing us to stop and cool down.
Of course, it works a bit differently when you’re an adult, but it’s all about perspective, and I promise you, you can allow yourself to be free.

Take some days off, take a vacation, take a morning off, or simply go out into that summer night, but be free and feel that summer! 🙂

We all need time to relax, and somehow it comes easier to relax in the summer sun. And this is coming from someone who likes summer only for the beach. 🙂 I hate, hate, hate the heat, it drives me crazy, makes me angry, but then I dive into the water and everything is better; I am so light in the water, my mind is at ease, my body is relaxed, everything stops, and I float in time. I love those mornings at the beach, those fresh, relaxing, salty mornings.

So, take this summer to consider what we talked about, take some time for yourself, your family, boyfriend, wife, friends, pets, books, gardens, anything and anyone you like. Or even no one and nothing at all. Take some time to enjoy and relax. Take some time to reset.

I recommend leaving all screens at home, giving your eyes, as well as your mind, a break. Think for yourself, no influence, go with the flow, let the good times roll. Maybe it’s summer in the city, maybe chilling on the beach or by the pool, but one thing is for sure – no time like the summer to put yourself first (and enjoy a little summer siesta 🙂 ).

With that in mind, we’ll take a little break from posting, and we’ll meet again in autumn, continuing to consider. 🙂

Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer’s day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.
