Summertime is here! Time to shake off the winter blues and spend time enjoying the beautiful weather. You may be looking for some delightful activities to do during this season. Luckily, we’ve got you covered with our top five favourite pastimes.
Taking a Nature Walk: Summer is a great time to appreciate the beauty of nature. You can enjoy the beautiful flowers, chirping birds, and fresh air by taking a leisurely walk in nearby parks or trails. No doubt, you’ll also spot a squirrel or two running around looking for a little snack to munch on. Insert Image 1
Planting a Garden: Gardening is a fun way to exercise and enjoy the outdoors. It is a well-known fact that plants have a calming effect on the mind and body. Whether you’re looking to plant flowers, herbs, or crops in your backyard or balcony, those luscious greens can help reduce stress levels, promote relaxation, and improve air quality. Insert Image 2
Trying a New Hobby: The sun rises earlier and sets later during summer, so there’s heaps of time to try something new and seize the day. Signing up for online or in-person classes related to art, cooking, or learning new technologies will help keep you engaged and active. Insert Image 3
Going on a Picnic: A picnic is a great way to bask in the sun and enjoy a delicious meal with family or friends. There’s nothing like spending your afternoons in a nearby lake or park. Watch out for those cheeky geese that might take a peck out of your yummy snacks! Insert Image 4
Attending Yoga or Tai Chi Classes: Immersing yourself in yoga or Tai Chi classes may help reduce stress, anxiety and improve your mood. Studies have shown that yoga and Tai Chi can also help you get a better good night’s sleep. The MPC Foundation also offers both in-person and online QiGong/Tai Chi and yoga sessions free of charge.
