Warm weather and sunshine can mean only one thing: summer is here! If you’re like most people, the desire to get outside and have some fun is overwhelming, but as an adult, you may have other responsibilities you have to take care of.
Whether you’re a student attending CCC or PVLA classes or have to work during the summer (or both!), staying motivated can be a challenge. Here are some things that may help:
There are things you’ll have to do during the day, which may include attending class and/or going to work. You may not be able to get out of doing these things, but there are other times during the day you can save for fun.
After blocking out time during the day to take care of responsibilities, block out time for something fun. That may be an hour hanging out in the yard with your kids, or spending the evening around a fire pit, or a weekend at the lake. No matter what you decide to do, do them with intention—and don’t feel guilty about having fun!
Finding time during the summer to study is essential, but it shouldn’t be your entire focus. If you treat it like a part-time job, you’ll show up to study at your scheduled time, and when that time is up, you’re off the clock. Your day is free for you to do the other things you planned.
Summer can get hectic fast, but you need to take care of yourself. Make sure to schedule in some exercise time—and keep in mind that it doesn’t necessarily have to be at the gym (although it certainly can be!). Take a hike with your family, or plan a kayak trip. Get out to the local park and climb on the equipment. Whatever you decide to do, make sure it gets your heartrate up and leaves you feeling good!
Being an adult can be challenging, and finding a balance between work and play can be hard. There are things you have to do and things you want to do. When you accomplish a have-to-do task, make sure you give yourself a reward. This might include taking a 5-minute nap or indulging in an ice cream treat. You get to decide what reward you deserve.
