How To Prevent A Post-Summer Slump

July is a fantastic month of formlessness and fun. It’s the essence of summer. It’s the time for being out and about doing unique activities like vacation adventures, camping, festivals and much more. The excitement and joy of summer is wonderful, but it is also highly stimulating.

Just like in December, July’s festivities can skew your perception of inner balance. What I want for you, is when the summer dust settles for you to be settled and balanced too. If you’ve been skipping your stillness practice because you’re busy having fun this month, you may find yourself in a post-summer slump. Or worse, you may feel like a hot mess even though the temperature outside is cooling off.

So, be sure to get your summer dose of TEA and I don’t mean iced tea. I’m talking about therapeutic self-care:

Time – Create the safe space to stop receiving stimuli (including cocktails, crosswords and keyboarding), which allows your mind and body to go into restorative recovery.
Energy –Redirect your energy, from unconsciously juggling and coping with experiences to consciously dissipating them and resetting to your natural rhythms, so you’re not just relaxed but also regulated and motivated.
Alignment – Stay mindful of what matters most to you so you stay on track with your life path as well as being present and focused in the daily details.

In this month’s Observatory, YOUcation, we practiced TEA with Craniosacral Therapy’s universal rhythm. You can access these and other past healing sessions, as well as join us for next month’s live sessions for by joining the Observatory membership here.

If you don't have time for an hour healing session, you can simply grab the 5-Minute Snow Globe Settling I emailed about earlier this month by clicking here to get started with your TEA.
