Highlights from the board: 5 coping skills for mental health
Whether you aim to complete the entire board or just a few activities, the June wellness bingo Board is a versatile tool for boosting your summer wellness. Here are 5 that we can’t wait to try out first:
1. Wake up with the sunrise
Starting your day with the sunrise can set a positive tone for the rest of the day. In fact, early exposure to natural light regulates your circadian rhythm, improving sleep quality and overall mood. So, make it a habit to rise with the sun and take a few moments to enjoy the peaceful beauty of the morning. We’ll get the coffee brewing.
2. Take an outdoor yoga class
Yoga offers numerous health benefits, including improved flexibility, strength, and stress reduction. Practicing yoga outdoors enhances these benefits by connecting you with nature. Whether you join a class in a park or practice in your backyard, the fresh air and natural surroundings can deepen your yoga practice and provide a greater sense of peace and relaxation.
3. Enjoy your favorite summer fruit
Summer fruits like berries, watermelon, and peaches are delicious and packed with essential vitamins, antioxidants, and hydration. Incorporating these fruits into your meals or enjoying them as snacks can boost your immune system and energy levels. It’s also a chance to practice mindful eating, which is the practice of savoring the flavors and textures of fresh, seasonal produce.
4. Drink 8 glasses of water a day
Staying hydrated is crucial, especially during the warmer months. Aim to drink at least 8 glasses of water daily to maintain bodily functions, regulate temperature, and keep your skin healthy. To make hydration more enjoyable, add slices of lemon, cucumber, or berries to your water for a refreshing twist.
5. Spend a day unplugged
Taking a break from screens and digital devices can significantly reduce stress and improve sleep. Dedicate a day to unplugging and engaging in other activities from the bingo board, like going on a scenic bike ride or writing in your journal. This digital detox can provide a refreshing reset for your mind and body.
