Summer fatigue is coming soon (lol). 10 choices to heal yourself

Summer is in its second half.

It's fun to be able to spend time in ways unique to summer.

I have more time and more peace of mind than usual.

But.

I predict that fatigue will be coming soon... (lol).

There's the heat, going out, and being with family all the time.

A life different from the usual is fun, but it's tiring in its own way.

It's summer, after all.

I think it's okay to spend time not just playing, but also
healing my own fatigue.

So today, as we are in the second half of summer, here are

10 choices to heal yourself

that I've been thinking about.

1. Go to bed early no matter what

It always comes down to this (lol).

When you're tired, staying up late just makes you more tired.

How many times have I done this?

In summer, there are days when you can take it easier than usual.

That's exactly when you should decide to go to bed early.

Today is over. Let's sleep.

I think this is also a wonderful choice.

2. Eat or drink something a little nice

It doesn't have to be something expensive.

A slightly better coffee than usual.

A cake you like.

Delicious ice cream.

Buy something for yourself that you think, "I want to eat this."

Even just that can lift your spirits.

3. Make time to be alone

Spending time with family is fun.

But, being with someone all the time can still be tiring.

Even just 30 minutes is fine, just be alone.

Do what you like without anyone talking to you.

For me, this is a very important recovery time.

4. Proudly cut corners on housework

Don't try to do everything as usual when you're tired.

Meals can be simple, too.

You don't have to clean today, either.

Even if the laundry piles up a bit, it'll be fine.

On days when you're tired, prioritize your own recovery over housework.

At least for the summer, let's decide that's okay.

5. Make time to do nothing

When you have some free time,

"I'll do that too"

"I'll get this done too"

is what you tend to think.

But, time to do nothing is also necessary.

Lounge on the sofa, or just zone out.

I intentionally make time where I don't have to produce anything.

6. Don't overeat, and let your stomach rest

In summer, you end up eating quite a bit (lol).

Eating out, having snacks, or buying things while out and about.

Of course, that is also part of the fun of summer.

But, if you feel a little tired, dare to eat light or not at all.

Maybe I don't need to eat that much today.

I feel somewhat better when I have a day to let my stomach rest.

7. Take a longer bath

My usual bath is inevitably rushed.

On days when I have time to spare, I stay in a little longer than usual.

Soak in lukewarm water and zone out.

After getting out of the bath, instead of rushing to do something, I just relax.

I want to enjoy this kind of time precisely because these are the slow days of summer.

8. Try burning aroma oils, which I'm usually not familiar with

In my daily life, I'm quite far removed from a mindful lifestyle with aroma oils (lol).

But that's exactly why I'm going to try it.

Try placing something that smells nice, or burning some aroma oil.

It's the same room as always, but the atmosphere changes just a little bit.

Try doing these kinds of things you don't usually do.

9. Go to a family restaurant

This is also a wonderful form of healing for me.

I don't have to cook.

I don't have to clean up.

It's cool.

There are drinks too.

The family can each order what they like.

It doesn't have to be a fancy place.

Let's just go to a family restaurant today.

There are days when just making that choice makes things much easier.

10. Go out for coffee alone at night

This requires some coordination with the family, though.

Whether it's a stylish cafe or a quiet coffee shop.

Going out alone at night for a casual coffee.

A quiet time that feels a little different from the daytime.

Drinking coffee alone in a place that is neither home nor work helps me shift my mood a little.

It is one of the things you can enjoy precisely because it is a slow summer night where you do not have to worry too much about the next morning.

……Actually, there is one more (lol).

I wrote down 10 things.

But actually, there is one more.

Recently, there is something that personally surprised me quite a bit.

That is,

taking Alinamin A.

This was quite shocking for me.

The day after I took it, I felt, "Huh, something is different...".

Of course, this is just my personal impression.

But I was a little surprised, thinking, "I didn't know this was an option too" (lol).

By the way, there is no advertisement for Alinamin A in this article.

I am writing this because I was genuinely impressed by it recently.

Summer is in its second half.

Since it is summer, going out is fine.

Spending time with family is fine.

Doing things you wanted to do is also fine.

However,

When you start feeling tired, spend your time on healing yourself.

I think that's a perfectly fine way to spend the summer, too.

The rest of the summer.

I want to enjoy it at a leisurely pace while making the "healing choices" that suit me each day.
