Season by Setting Summer Goals

By Marelisa Fábregadaringtolivefully.com

Summer Goal #1 – Meditate Outdoors

One of the great things about summer is that you can take your meditation routine outside. Try walking meditation — go out for a walk and cultivate mindfulness by placing all of your awareness on walking. Imagine that you’re kissing the earth with your feet with each step.

You can also try Tai chi in the park, or yoga at the beach.

Summer Goal #2 – Take Up a Hobby

There are many hobbies which are perfect for the summer months. One of these is photography.

Try a summer photo project— take a photo of something that represents the season every day throughout the summer. Here are some ideas:

• Pool floats• Summer plants and flowers• Jumping into the water• Fourth of July Shenanigans

Summer Goal #3 – Read a Classic

Everyone should create a reading list at the start of the summer.

Although reading trashy novels while lying on a beach towel is a time-honored summer tradition, squeeze one classic into your reading list.

I recommend that you choose Shakespeare’s “Hamlet”, but other good choices include “Middlemarch” by George Eliot, and “Anna Karenina” by Leo Tolstoy.

Summer Goal #4 – Enjoy Simple Summer

Pleasures Make a long list of simple summer pleasures to enjoy this summer.

Your list can include walking barefoot on the grass, filling vases with brightly colored geraniums and placing them around the house, eating strawberry popsicles, swinging from a tire swing, and taking a nap in a hammock.

Then, each day of the summer, engage in at least one of these activities.

Summer Goal #5 – Play a Giant Board Game Given the many benefits of playing board games—they help build life and thinking skills,

and are great for socializing—make sure to incorporate board games into your summer.

However, give playing board games a summer twist by playing outside–you can play in your backyard or at the park. And, of course, since you’ll be in the great outdoors, you’ll need giant board games.

You can try giant scrabble, giant chess, or giant Chinese checkers.

Summer Goal #6 – Try a New Ice Cream Flavor

Summer is ice cream season.My favorite ice cream flavor is Rocky Road. It will probably always be my favorite. I’m sure you have a favorite flavor, as well.

However, everyone should be open to trying new ice cream flavors for the sake of novelty. Each year new ice cream flavors come out, so find one that looks tempting, and dig in.

Summer Goal #7 – Try a New Sport One of the great things about summer is that you get to spend lots of time in nature and the great outdoors.

All that time outside means there’s lots of sports you can participate in. This summer, set the goal of trying a new sport.

It can be a water sport–such as paddleboarding or skimboarding–, or it can be a land sport–such as rollerblading or archery.daringtolivefully.
