Setting Your Summer Goals: Embracing Fun While Staying Healthy
Ah, summer—the season of freedom and relaxation. With school out, pools open, and a break from homework, it's the perfect time to let loose and enjoy the warm weather. However, as August rolls around, many of us find ourselves regretting the choices we made during those carefree summer months. But what if we could have the best of both worlds? What if we could have fun while staying on track with our healthy living goals? Well, it all starts with setting intentions and goals for the summer. In this blog post, we'll explore the Summer Habit Challenge and how it can help you maintain a healthy and vibrant lifestyle throughout the season.
Summer Habit Challenge #2: Declare and Write Down Your Summer Goals:
Setting goals is essential to staying focused and achieving what you want. By boldly declaring and writing down your intentions for the summer, you take the first step towards making them a reality. In fact, this challenge has been a favorite among the students of the Chasing Good Health Academy. It's simple yet powerful—a small act that sets the wheels in motion. To inspire you, let me share my own summer goals:
1. Stay healthy and vibrant: prioritize my well-being and maintain a positive mindset.
2. Avoid the summer fluff and bloating: make mindful choices when it comes to food and drinks.
3. Feel good in my summer attire: embrace confidence and body positivity in summer dresses, short shorts, and swimwear.
4. Enjoy quality time with my college daughters who are home for the summer: create cherished memories together.
5. Make fresh meals with produce at home most of the time: nourish my body with wholesome, homemade dishes.
6. Practice yoga five times a week: prioritize flexibility, strength, and mental relaxation.
7. Walk with my friends, aiming for at least 15,000 steps a day: combine physical activity with social connection.
8. Create fresh juice recipes at home: experiment with new flavors and share them with others.
As the official summer season kicks off, it's important to set the tone for the months ahead. By participating in the Summer Habit Challenge and declaring your goals, you empower yourself to enjoy all the fun summer has to offer without compromising your well-being. Remember, without clear intentions, it's easy to get swept away by the allure of the season. So take a moment, reflect on what you truly want, and write it down. Your goals become a roadmap for a healthy and fulfilling summer, allowing you to savor the joy of the season while staying on track. Here's to a summer filled with vibrant health, memorable moments, and endless possibilities!
