It's time to prepare your luggage and catch your flight to freedom. If melancholy and lack of motivation are two of the feelings that haunt you when you realize that you will be spending your holidays alone, get ready to change your mindset . Being alone will let you choose your own pace to go about your day and will increase your awareness of your surroundings. Ultimately, it is a gift for the body and soul.
The terms and conditions of rest days are up to you when the holiday season becomes an opportunity to connect with you. Frederica has put together some of the best activities to do alone during the hot season. Are you ready to make this the most zen summer ever?
Walk outside.
Hiking is one of the best activities we can do alone. Feel the wind in your hair, hear the birds singing, observe each tree. Feel the sounds that accompany you in this purely mindfulness moment. You are not alone – you are with Nature. Contemplate it and feel what it offers you.
Try yoga .
This is one of the best physical activities for those looking to relax and leave the weight of the world behind. Yoga is an ancient practice that greatly reduces our levels of anxiety and stress . Give your mind the rest it deserves and needs.
Start meditating.
Meditation is synonymous with liberation. Take advantage of your rest days to align yourself with yourself and to silence your mind. Sometimes, this attitude is enough for us to have the answers we are looking for, when we look inside ourselves.
Have a barbecue – just for you!
Admit it: I didn't expect this advice to be on this list. True? Regardless of the answer, follow us. Have a barbecue just for you, with everything you're entitled to and with all the little whims that please you. Take pleasure in preparing this moment which, despite being associated with programs between friends, can also be a personal program. Accompany it with a glass of wine and… enjoy.
Do gardening.
While our mind is busy, we forget about any situation that may worry us. Taking care of your garden can be truly relaxing, because while you are doing it you are completely focused.
Change your look .
A change of look, how about that? Do you remember that haircut you always wanted to try, but, due to lack of courage, you never did? Perhaps this is the ideal opportunity to take a risk. Sometimes, they are symbolic changes that mark a new phase in our lives.
Learn to make pottery.
Get to work and go learn how to make pottery. Unleash your artistic flair and take a course that will help you create a piece you will never forget. After all, every time you look at it you will remember the most relaxing vacation you ever gave yourself.
