My fav parts of summer (that have nothing to do with bikini body workouts)
Ah, summer—the season of long days, warm nights, and the endless promise of sunshine and adventure. But let’s get one thing straight: the idea that summer is all about achieving a "bikini body" is outdated and, frankly, exhausting.
Here’s the truth: working toward arbitrary goals just to fit into someone else’s idea of how you “should” look isn’t what summer (or life) is about. This summer, let’s shift the focus. Let’s celebrate the things that truly bring joy, connection, and fulfillment—things that have nothing to do with the scale or a six-pack.
Here are some of my favorite parts of summer that I hope you’ll enjoy, too:
1. Feeling the Sun on Your Skin (with SPF, of course!)
There’s something magical about soaking up the warmth of the sun—whether it’s on a morning walk, lounging at the beach, or gardening in your backyard. That vitamin D boost is good for the soul.
2. Cooling Off in the Water
From ocean swims to lazy afternoons by the pool, the water is calling. And guess what? You don’t need to look a certain way to enjoy it. Grab your favorite swimsuit and dive in!
3. Fresh, Seasonal Foods
Summer is bursting with flavors—juicy berries, crisp salads, and veggies fresh off the BBQ. Eating in season isn’t about cutting carbs or counting calories; it’s about savoring the deliciousness of what’s available right now.
4. Long Evenings and Sunsets
Is there anything better than those endless summer evenings? Whether you’re watching the sunset with friends or just enjoying a quiet moment, these are the memories that stick with you.
5. More Time Outdoors
Summer is perfect for being outside—hiking, picnicking, or simply sitting on the deck with a good book. Moving your body in ways you love and enjoying the fresh air is what it’s all about.
6. Reconnecting with Fun
Summer is a time to embrace playfulness. Whether it’s running through sprinklers, jumping on a paddleboard, or playing backyard cricket, let yourself have fun—no “rules” attached.
7. Feeling Confident in Your Skin (No Matter What)
Here’s a radical idea: you don’t need to change your body to enjoy summer. You are worthy of joy, fun, and connection exactly as you are.
This Summer, Let’s Focus on What Matters
The best parts of summer have nothing to do with how you look and everything to do with how you feel. So, let’s leave the arbitrary goals behind and focus on celebrating life, movement, connection, and all the little joys this season brings.
If you’re ready to embrace a healthier, more joyful approach to wellness—one that focuses on how you feel, not how you look—I’d love to help. Let’s make this summer your happiest, most fulfilling one yet.
