Summer’s coming fast! And while we’re all daydreaming about beach days, iced coffee dates, and that golden-hour glow, sometimes we need to pause for a second.
Because if we’re rolling into summer already burnt out, overwhelmed, or mentally still stuck in winter—how are we supposed to actually enjoy it?
It’s not too late to reset. Here are 5 super doable mindfulness practices to start now—so when summer hits, you’re glowing from the inside and out 🌞✨
🌿 1. Morning Moments: Don’t Touch Your Phone Yet!
Before you doom-scroll yourself into a stress spiral, give yourself five minutes when you wake up. That’s it.
🧘♀️ Breathe.
☕ Stretch while your coffee brews.
📓 Write one thing you’re excited for today.
Even just 3 deep breaths before opening Instagram can change the whole vibe of your day.
📵 2. One Tech-Free Hour a Day
… our brains are TIRED. Pick one hour (even if it’s just during dinner or before bed) and ditch the phone.
Go for a walk, read something, do nothing for a sec.
This helps you actually be where you are—so important when summer memories start rolling in.
☀️ 3. Savor Something Small
You don’t have to meditate on a mountain to practice mindfulness. You can just notice stuff more. Next time you’re sipping that iced latte, really taste it. Smell it. Appreciate the cup. Feel the sun on your skin if you’re outside.
Boom. You just did a mindfulness practice without even trying too hard.
🧠 4. Name Your Feelings (We are not all “just fine”)
This one’s lowkey powerful. Instead of pushing your stress down with another to-do list, just… name it.
“Wow, I feel anxious right now.”
“I think I’m overwhelmed but also kinda excited.”
Naming feelings makes them way less scary and helps you move through them faster. It’s like turning the lights on in your brain.
✨ 5. Do One Thing at a Time
We are too good at multitasking—but it’s destroying our peace. Try doing just ONE thing at a time.
Eat without watching Netflix.
Walk without texting.
Talk to a friend without checking your notifications every 5 seconds.
It’s harder than it sounds, but it brings you back to the moment. Which, let’s be honest, is where the good stuff lives.
Pick one of these and try it this week! No pressure to be perfect. Just start somewhere. You deserve a summer you can actually feel—not one that flies by in a blur.
We’re not just glowing this summer—we’re grounded too. 🌼
Let’s do it together.
