Michelle's 10 Tips for De-Stressing This Summer

Float in a Pool
Especially if you are in AZ, there's nothing like floating in a near weightless environment to melt away stress. Spend some time floating in a pool, letting the cool water relax your body and mind. Float away the stress baby!
Visit a Nearby Lake
Take a trip to a local lake for a change of scenery. The natural beauty and calming water can help you feel refreshed and rejuvenated. The quick travel will bring out your adventure side, relieving you of your current to do’s.
Cold Plunge
If you're feeling brave, try a cold plunge! This popular health trend has its reasons. This invigorating practice can boost your mood and reduce stress levels.
Create a Signature Mocktail
Get creative in the kitchen and mix up your own signature mocktail. Enjoying a refreshing drink with fresh ingredients can be a fun and relaxing activity that will be just what you need to wash away your worries.
Michelles go to summer mocktail: 3 ounces honey simple syrup · 2 ounces fresh lime juice · 10 mint leaves · 3 ounces lime!

Go to a Matinee Movie
Escape the heat and indulge in a matinee movie. A dark, cool theater and a captivating film can be a great way to unwind.
Shower and Nap with a Fan
After a refreshing shower, take a nap with a fan gently blowing on you. The combination of clean skin and a cool breeze can be incredibly soothing for the body and mind. P.s. elevate your experience by playing spa or meditation music.
Meditate Outside Early Morning
Start your day with a peaceful outdoor meditation session. The early morning calm and coolness can enhance your meditation practice. Hear the birds chirping, see the sun rising, and experience the peace and serene energy the morning brings.
Visit an Indoor Museum
Spend an afternoon exploring an indoor museum. The quiet atmosphere and intriguing exhibits can provide a much needed mental break. Being able to expand your knowledge is a great way to spend your time!
Day Trip to Rim Country
Plan a day trip to Rim Country for a scenic escape. The stunning landscapes and fresh mountain air can do wonders for your stress levels.
Day Spa Baby!
Treat yourself to a day at the spa. Pampering yourself with massages, facials, and other spa treatments is a fantastic way to relax and recharge. Nothing feels better than the calm setting a spa offers with the ability to boost your confidence!
