Find solace in the shade of trees, appreciating the dappled light and your place in the natural world.

Experience the joy of a rainstorm, allowing the raindrops to touch your skin and finding laughter in the contradictions of life. Stay hydrated and infuse water with delicious flavors, hosting a garden party and delighting guests with flower-filled ice cubes. Indulge in long baths, whether indoors or outdoors, and savor the relaxation as the summer heat melts away.

Surround yourself with flowers, bringing some indoors and pressing or drying others for future use. Lastly, give yourself permission to retreat and prioritize your self-care, even in the hottest days of summer.
