1. Play a Team Sport

Being part of a team and competing is a fantastic way to get exercise, challenge yourself, and do something fun as a group. Even if you don’t participate in an organized league, making a regular time to get together with a group could be a fun chance to play sports that require multiple players. 

With summer in full swing, it’s the perfect time of year to set up a soccer match. With a little advance preparation, you can even set up a baseball or softball game. You need access to a diamond or a field that’s large enough to set one up, enough gloves to go around, and a high-quality baseball bat. 

2. Be Attentive to Your Body’s Nutritional Needs

Being attentive to the way that you’re fueling your body can definitely make you feel more invested in yourself. The food that you eat day-to-day can have a determinative impact on both your physical well-being and your mental health. Also, the choices that you make about your meals and snacks can inform your sense of self-discipline and self-maintenance. When you make healthy and practical choices, you affirm your ability to exercise good critical reasoning skills and you reinforce the value that you assign to your own well-being. 

3. Travel Somewhere New

Getting out of your comfort zone can make you feel like an intrepid adventurer. Choose a location that’s in keeping with traditional summertime-themed recreational pursuits rather than a bustling metropolis where you might feel lost in the crowd or sensorily overloaded. Try to center your search on areas of interest that feature exceptional natural beauty. 

Planning a trip to a scenic spot is a good way to see someplace new while also getting to soak up some positive energy in an environment where you can unwind. A laid back locale like South Carolina’s lowlands or Island Cay at Clearwater Beach would be perfect for meeting a friendly crowd that welcomes visitors without having to contend with a throng of tourists.

4. Satisfy Your Thirst for Knowledge

This summer, broaden your understanding of the world around you and develop your interest in important causes that you care about. Learning new things can make you continually curious about the things that you see and experience every day. When you’re passionate about learning new things and expanding your knowledge, you can feel more engaged in the world. 

5. Connect With the People Who Make Your Life Better

The positive relationships in your life are a big part of what makes up your identity and what makes you happy. During a season that’s the prime time for fun get-togethers, make sure you’re spending some of that time with the people who you really love and care about. Don’t devote the majority of this summers’ weekends to weddings you’re attending to be polite or hanging out with neighbors you can’t escape. Prioritize the people who are special to you. 

The people who know you best tend to know what’s best about you, and just being around them can remind you how great you are whenever you’re down on yourself and thinking differently. Also, assuming that supportive role yourself and getting to express love for the people who you are grateful to have in your life makes you feel good about yourself. Manifesting positive energy and directing it to friends and family can make you realize just how much you have to offer and how awesome you are. 

This summer, find opportunities to have fun and feel great. When you’re happy about how you’re spending your time, you’ll ultimately feel happier with yourself.
