The Summer edit
I was talking to a friend the other day (Hello friend!) about Seasonal Affective Disorder and how I know how to manage it for winter but summer always knocks me on my proverbial behind.
All the summer marketing is about being outdoors and having fun in the sun. Y’all the sun is not fun!! So, I’ve learned to embrace a slower pace in the summer. My beach day looks like a comfy chair, a sweet drink and a book. Oh and a lot of sunscreen and a sun hat!
Chances are if you invite me to an outdoor fest in the summer that I’m going to say no. I know my limits and standing outside in the sun is just not fun for me. You do you boo.
Although, I do love a bike ride at dusk when the temperature starts to shift, the cicadas are whirring, and the fireflies are out. It reminds me of heading home as a kid because the street lights have come on and it’s time to go home (or else). That feeling of being happily worn out and looking forward to some dinner. I wish I could bottle that feeling.
Maybe that’s the feeling I’m trying to chase this summer. One of contentment.

Your mission
I’m going to challenge myself to have some fun in the sun this weekend (in small sunscreen protected doses). I’ll take my chair out to the beach with a good book. How can you embrace summer this weekend?
Life Coaching
I have been working on trying to define what it is I do and the phrase ‘Create the Life You Want to Live’ or ‘Design the Life You Desire’ was percolating in my mind. The reality though is I help people get out of bed in the morning. If life is overwhelming you, then learn how Life Coaching can help. Please sign up for a free half hour Curiosity Call.
