The summer of 2020 is proving to be very different than usual. With vacations hit or miss, pool parties on hold, and heat waves still abounding, it’s a good time to step back and tune in with yourself with some self-compassion. Check out this “Mindful Summer Bucket List” from the blog Left-Brain Buddha. Here’s a sampling of the ideas:
- Eat an entire meal in silence — pay attention to the act of eating and to the taste of the food
- Go for a walk — with no iPhone, no music…. just pay attention
- Take (an online) class — art, painting, drumming, dance, tai chi
- Make a list of the things you love about yourself
- Create a meditation space or a calm-down space in your home
Wishing you a mindful, reinvigorating summer!
