It’s beginning to look a lot like summer lately (well, it really depends where you live), but wherever you are, you can surely admit that this time of the year has finally arrived. Have you already made plans for the upcoming months? Or maybe are you worried the summer will pass by and you won’t even enjoy it as much due to the work commitments? If that’s the case – don’t worry. We can reassure you that this summer can still be amazing and all we can advise is to set some summer goals to make the most of this season. Here is some of our suggestions that are very affordable and easy to implement.

1. Set up a weekly routine of going for a walk to the park 

This may seem so simple, but trust us – this is a game changing! Going for a walk to the park especially on Saturday on Sunday morning can really set up your mood for the rest of the day. It’s not only relaxing, but also very beneficial for your mental health. It’s proven that spending time in nature could be treated as a form of therapy. So grab your coffee and add this little activity to your calendar.

2. Practice yoga on the beach or by the lake 

One of the amazing things about summer is that you can do most of the things outdoors! Why don’t you try to practice yoga on the beach, or if there isn’t one around, you can do it by the lake or river. Change of scenery is good and exercising outdoors can really make your summer better!

3. Organise picnics with friends

Picnics are great ways to gather together with your friends, get some snacks and spend time a nice spot in your town. Reach out to your friends and plan some meeting together. Choose the right location be ready to have lots of fun!

4. Start a book club with your friends

This may not sound exciting for some of us, but lots of us really forget about reading when the sun is shining and there is lots of other fun things to do. Reading is so important, even as a form of relaxation. Pick two or three books and try to read at least a few pages a day. By starting a book club you can involve your friends and add the social aspect to it. You can take turns on holding meeting in each other’s homes and motivate one another.

5. Have a family movie night 

Make some popcorn and enjoy a good movie with the rest of your family. This is a great way to spend quality time together and engage in some funny conversations. To make it more special and fun, if you have a garden you can even watch the movie under the stars.

6. Laugh everyday

Make this a happy summer by setting a goal to laugh every day. Whether it’s watching a funny video or joking with friends – laugh is having a great impact on your mental and physical health. So take your pen, add it to your summer bucket list and watch your life becoming more joyful.
