CALM AND RELAXING SUMMER ACTIVITIES| For Stress Free Summer Days

Summertime should be calm and relaxing, so we’ve put together a bucket list with our favorite summer activities. We think the summer window of wonders is way too short to miss out on, so, let us romanticize and make this summer as stress-free as it is meant to be.

To appreciate this revitalizing summer bucket list you don’t need a cottage or a farm. Simply enjoy it from wherever you call home. Create environments and memories that will warm up your mind throughout the rest of the year. Summertime is a time to focus on yourself, constantly giving you the appreciation that you deserve.

You are welcome to use the hashtag #thischarmingsummer to share and inspire other kindred spirits with your favorite summer moments!

Get ready for our calm and relaxing Summer Bucket List as we say welcome to stress-free summer days.

1. Pack a Picnic

Pack some delightful snacks, perhaps grill some hot dogs or s’mores. Enjoy a refreshing drink and go barefoot in the grass. (But watch out for ticks.)
A picnic should not be stressful, it should rather be a playground for all those small lovely impulses that come out in the summer when we gather ourselves around a lovely spread of food.

2. Nurture in Nature

Go for a day hike or if you have the chance even set up a camp. Watch a sunset over the mountains and see the fireflies dance in a meadow.
Summer is a short window that allows magical things to happen. Let nature make your stress go away no matter if you are in the local park or in the wild.

3. Wonderful Water

Go for a swim with mermaids, take a dip in a lake, and/or put your toes in a running stream. If you don’t have access to “wild water” just bring a bottle of water to pour over your feet as you have found a good nature spot to relax. It is amazing what the feeling of water between your toes can do. It makes flowers and gardens grow and we are sure it has the same effect on people too.

4. Farm Fresh Fruit

Hand pickin’ berries and fruit is a gift from nature. Summer days will be remembered through refreshing flavors that your mind will thank you for. There is nothing so intriguing as to enjoy a berry or a vegetable directly from its stem. If you don’t have access to wild-grown fruit and berries, look into the local farmer’s markets.

5. Tea Time

A tea party is always a good idea, especially outside when the weather is at its best. Making the cheerful noises from setting a table not only builds up an inner excitement but makes all the critters so curious too. A soft breeze of summer air together with a bite of home-baked treats is a lovely combination when it is topped off with tea.

6 Floral Frolicking

Some might see weeds, others a wildflower bouquet. There is so much you can do with wildflowers. You can dry them, smell them, or put them in a vase. Some of them you can even use in the kitchen as some of them are edible, however, make sure to research before making them into treats.

7. Soak up the Sun

Let the sun warm your skin and soul, but of course, wear sunscreen, or enjoy the moment under a parasol. You can almost feel all the vitamins soaking in.

8. Cold Confections

Ice cream and popsicles, iced coffee, or tea are some great ways to cool down on a hot and sunny day. For us, it is a delight to take the chance to try as many flavors as we can. Remember there are also many lactose-free options nowadays.

9. Whimsical Wildlife

The butterflies, ladybugs, and animals are so active in the summer but can easily be missed. Take the time to admire the wings of a dragonfly or the beautiful songs of birds. Perhaps you are lucky to have frequent visits from hummingbirds. Once you start to feed them they might return year after year. You will notice fun behaviors in nature and if you are careful the critters might come closer to you.

10. Delightful Daydreaming

The rainy days of summer can be very relaxing. Nothing is so grounding as a good ol summer thunderstorm or a down poor. Enjoy indoor activities that you normally wouldn’t do, take time to read a book, play a family board game, or just daydream with no limits attached. After all, isn’t summers meant to be a long relaxing daydream.
