Savor the Long Days of Summer

Summer is coming!!! With summer comes longer days, more outdoor activities and more opportunities to do things together with your family. Now is the opportune time to put in a new habit of spending some quality time as a family after dinner to go for a walk, pedal through the neighborhood, do some extra reading, play ball, go out for ice cream, or whatever you and your family would enjoy doing together. It takes about 21 days to get a new habit in place. Once you’ve developed this time as a normal part of your daily routine, it will be easier to adapt your activities to other times of the year while still focusing on spending time together.
You could also take this opportunity to create some activities just for you, for you and your spouse, or together with a friend or neighbor. Use this time consciously and create it to be what you want. It would be helpful to have a handful of activities you enjoy. Time is too easily frittered away when the effort is not taken to use it wisely.
Select things that are fun and enjoyable that you’ll look forward to doing. Get in the rhythm of “being” the kind of person you want to be rather than being too SuperBusy to enjoy your life and loved ones!
