Summer is in full swing! This time of year always gets me feeling nostalgic for the summers of my youth: no school, days filled with active play and adventure, and memories made with family and friends. It all comes down to how I felt in those summer months.
I can’t go back in time, but I can still foster the vibes of those summers. Wanna join me??
I’ll be here, in your inbox, every Wednesday of July with a different summer-inspired energy for you to explore over the week. I’ll share a bit about these life-enhancing themes and suggest ways to notice, nurture, and practice them. Think of this 5-email series as a low-pressure way to celebrate the season and yourself.
This week, explore playfulness!
