MIndfulness Summer Bucket List

One of our favorite mindfulness blogs full of ideas for parents and their children is Left Brain Buddha! I would like to say that we thought of the idea of a mindful summer bucket list, but we will give full credit to the Left Brain Buddha blog
Please follow below for some of her great ideas to keep you mindful and peaceful this summer! In addition, I have added a few Nabnasset ideas at the bottom of the list! Personally I am going to keep track of all my mindful activities in a journal over the summer and come back to school feeling refreshed, renewed and more mindful than ever.
The Mindful Summer Bucket List
  • Eat an entire meal in silence — pay attention to the act of eating and to the taste of the food
  • Go for a walk — with no iPhone, no music…. just pay attention
  • Get a mindfulness coloring book and spend an afternoon coloring
  • Take a 24-hour technology detox — no phone, Internet, TV, etc.
  • Declare a Day of Kindness and volunteer, engage in random acts of kindness, smile at people you see, and make people’s days
  • Change up a daily activity — brush your teeth with your non-dominant hand, drive a different route to work, sit in a different spot in your morning meeting…. Go wild!
  • Put on some music and dance — just move however your body wants to move
  • Take a class — art, painting, drumming, dance, tai chi
  • Make a list of the things you love about yourself
  • Declutter an area in your house that’s driving you crazy
  • Watch a sunrise
  • Make a list of the top 10 things that help YOU reduce stress — and post it somewhere you will see it every day
  • Meditate outside
  • Sign up for the Calm.com app and practice the "Daily Calm"
We wish you a peaceful, relaxing summer filled with fun and sprinkled with some mindfulness!
