A beautiful summer lifts our spirits. Here are 7 ways to bring the summer feeling of energy and wellbeing into your daily life:-

- Nature: Spend time in nature, just 10 minutes a day is beneficial. A plant on your desk will bring nature into your workplace.
- Food: Eat as healthily as possible. Reduce processed items and increase fresh produce. Make time for breakfast.
- Exercise: Daily gentle yoga stretches or qigong will keep the body and energy moving.
- Sleep: Aim for 8 hours a day. If you have problems going to sleep or wake during the night start a calming routine before bed including some long deep breaths focussing on relaxing as you exhale.
- Meditate: A few minutes in reflective stillness during the day will help calm, relax and focus the system. Make sure you are comfortable, its fine to sit on a chair, just check that the back is upright.
- Gratitude: Express thanks for the wonderful summer and for the coming joys of autumn and winter. A positive outlook makes a great difference.
- Laughter: Look for the humour in difficult situations, spend time with happy friends and smile and laugh often.
