Summer of Self-Care Tip #4: For 1 hour today: unplug!
Get outside, find a book, relax with your favorite snack (or all 3!) to spend some time away from electronics and close to yourself or those who matter most.
amaZEN U is a great technology tool to bring more yoga to more people, but we still agree sometimes it’s nice to get back to the basics, finding peace au natural.
Here are 5 ways that you can get the kids outside and enjoying the summer sunshine:
- Create a nature scavenger hunt with clues that lead to spots around the yard or neighborhood.
- Plan a picnic and have the kids choose and help prepare healthy options you can all enjoy alfresco.
- Take an old fashioned hike or walk and just enjoy the air, smell of the grass and sunshine! You might even spark a meaningful conversation.
- Hunt for bugs and other creepy crawlers and see how many different types you can find.
- Build a fort or other structure using sticks, leaves and anything else you can find in the yard!
What are some of your favorite ways to unplug and get outdoors?
