Do you remember those carefree days of your childhood and youth, when you had a zest for life and every day was an opportunity to have an exciting adventure?
Well, regardless of your age, it’s never too late to give your life a reboot, and to enjoy the sense of rejuvenation that comes when you get your mojo back.
If you want to have eyes that sparkle with delight, a Cheshire cat grin, and a spring in your step, get out there and live life to the fullest. Every summer’s day presents you with a fresh chance to create joyous experiences and unforgettable memories.
The summer solstice, on June 21st. (in the Northern Hemisphere) is the perfect time to commit to living life with more zest. If you need some inspiration to get you started, here are some fab ideas…
Upgrade Your Daily Habits
Life’s familiar habits can grind you down over time. Making a few tweaks and minor adjustments to the stuff that you do every day can greatly enhance your summertime fun, joy and experiences.
When you’re living life to the full, you won’t want to waste any precious moment. It’s a good idea to set your alarm clock to wake you 15-20 minutes earlier than usual. Use this extra time to your best advantage, by meditating and setting your intention for an awesome day ahead. If you keep a dream journal, spend the time writing down the details of your inspiring nocturnal adventures.
Establish a morning ritual that raises your vibe, motivates and inspires you. Sing your favourite song in the shower, power up with yoga, or empower yourself with “I Am…(fill in the blank)” affirmations that shift your mindset into the positive zone.
Keep It Simple
Having too much to do, or a million thoughts in your head, stops you from being able to enjoy the simple pleasure of living in the moment. If you’re serious about regaining a zest for life, you need to keep it simple.
Declutter your mind by downloading your thoughts, problems and worries onto paper. To lighten your load, complete unfinished tasks before starting something new, organise your space and time, and resolve friction with other people.
A psychic reading can also be beneficial in helping you make sense of confusion, by giving you clarity on situations so that you can simplify your life.
Unplug From Social Media
If you want to switch on your natural zest for life, you need to unplug from the tech stuff and social media, from time to time. Disconnect from electronic devices after work hours, and minimise the time that you waste mindlessly browsing.
Use your free available time to enjoy activities with family and friends, or take up a hobby that connects to your passions. Now is a good time to revisit things that once gave you great pleasure in life.
Harness The Power Of The Sun
As the sun rises in the morning, go outside and attune yourself to its potent energy. Take your shoes off and let your bare feet connect to the energy of the Earth, as you visualise roots from your soles burrowing deep into the ground.
Powerful solar energy reaches its peak at sun high (noon), before shifting and beginning its decline to sunset. To overcome the dreaded afternoon slump, that most people feel once the sun starts its decline, take drink of refreshing water and munch on a healthy snack. Spend some quality time outdoors in nature, or do some gentle exercise to keep your energy levels topped up.
Visit Your Happy Place
We all have a special place that we like to visit when the going gets tough and our zest for life starts disappearing. For some people, ‘the happy place’ is a beautiful beach or woodland area, or a location that brings back happy childhood memories. Others reach it by connecting to a Higher Power during meditation practice.
Wherever your ‘happy place’ may be, make sure that you take frequent detours there, to maintain an uplifted mood and a positive outlook on life.
Let Your Inner Child Out
As a carefree kid, your primary focus was on spending countless hours doing stuff that was fun and made you feel good. As an adult, you can recapture that wonderful feeling by letting your inner child come out to play.
Let your imagination run wild, and express your innate creativity with music, words or pictures. Get into your groove on the dance floor in the kitchen, or relive your hero days playing on the sports field. Get dirty, muddy and exhausted, doing fun activities that make you feel glad to be alive. Your inner child is waiting to put happiness first by bringing more playfulness into your everyday experiences.
