Get your head right

Beautiful skin and a healthy body don't mean much if your mind is all over the place. For some of us summer time often comes with extra activities and keeping up can be stressful. For others summer is about relaxing and slowing down. Either way, getting in touch with your thoughts and mind is always a plus. Ready for this? I challenge you to try meditation. I know what you're thinking, "There's no way I can sit still that long!" I get it. I didn't think I could either. Truth is, I still can't sit that long. But doing even a few minutes at a time makes a huge difference in my day. If you have an Alexa at home, install the My Morning skill. In about 5minutes it takes you through a series of steps that help you kick off the day positively and with one minute of meditation. If you feel up to a more intense (and even more gratifying) challenge try the Headspace app. This one I absolutely love and it's actually what taught me the benefits of meditation and got me totally hooked. Trust me, if I can do this, you definitely can.

EXTRA BOOST

I know, I know. I said just four tips. But I can't help it! This is a really really good one too! It's not really a tip, it's a book suggestion! I enjoyed this as an audiobook and highly recommend it to absolutely everyone. It's 10% Happier How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help That Actually Works-A True Story by Dan Harris. Whether you go for the audiobook or the hardcover you'll enjoy this read! The title of the book is pretty self explanatory so I'm not going to break it down for you. I can tell you that as soon as I read it I had to get Dan on my podcast to talk about his second book 10% Happier: Meditation for the Fidgety Skeptics; also an awesome read and more of a manual to help fidgety skeptics get started with meditation. Chatting with him about his experience with meditation after a nationally televised panic attack, dealing with drug abuse and PTSD, was a blast. You can check out the episode here!
