Summer Break: Refresh, Recharge, Reinvigorate

Longer days and warmer weather are just two of the ways in which summer invites people to enjoy their time outside. For many, this could include days spent on the lake, at a park, hiking, or taking that much-needed vacation. While these activities can help you relax, your daily obligations may mean your time is more limited. No matter how much time you have, this summer could be filled with small moments that help you refresh, recharge, and reinvigorate.

De-stress This Summer

Negative mental health impacts many people. For some, it requires significant and ongoing treatment that is irreplaceable. For others, there are small opportunities each and every day to help move mental health from negative to positive. Here are a few ways you can impact your positive mental health this summer:

• Reduce stress and burnout. With longer days, there are more opportunities to take advantage of the outdoors. This could mean a quiet cup of coffee before work or a little time in the garden at the end of a long day. These quiet moments allow you the opportunity to self-reflect and do something for you.
  
• Improve physical health. With more sunshine in the day, getting outside and soaking up vitamin D on a walk, run, or outdoor yoga class can not only help you improve your physical health but also build a fresh connection with the outdoors.
  
• Change your mental and emotional energy. Summer can mean a quick weekend getaway by yourself, with friends, or with family. By changing the scenery around you and immersing yourself in new experiences, you can participate in activities that leave you feeling good and give you the opportunity to reset.

These are just a few of the ways in which your positive mental health can be impacted this summer. When you allow yourself the opportunity to take a break this summer and get back to what helps you feel good, you actually allow more space in your life to be more present with your family and more productive at work. When you feel good, you put that energy into the people and opportunities around you.
