Summer!!

Summer is FINALLY here! I'm so psyched to do what I want without school in the way! Everybody, whether an adult or a teen, could totally use a mental health break! Summer is thriving, and it's time that you should too. If you are stuck on any ideas on how to relax and do something that you want, here are some friendly ideas:

Green Thumb? (Not me!) or Nature Lover?

1) Plant a garden.
2) Do Community Service and clean up at the park.
3) Grab some buddies and go outside! Teens, like my friends, spend so much time on their phones! Get outside! Trust me, it makes you feel alive.
4) Hit a farmer's market. Seeing people out doing things that they love makes your inner motivation get kick-started.

Active?
1) Run around the neighborhood.
2) Bike.
3) Run in a 5K or another charity event.
4) Have a Game Day with your friends- water balloon toss, Capture the Flag, you name it!

Artsy? Cook?
1) Change up your room.
2) Make a new meal or follow a new recipe.
3) Paint a picture.
4) Take some cool, artsy photos
5) Experiment with different foods! 
6) Sculpt, draw, sketch, you name it! Whatever makes you happy!

Literature?
1) Read a book that you would never pick up at a glance.
2) Read a book that you have been wanting to read (experiment with different genres!)
3) Poetry
4) Write. It helps to get your ideas on paper
5) Start a journal

Again, there are SO many ideas! I just grabbed a few and put them here! So go out and let your inner star shine!
