Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes…including you.
-Anne Lamott
When is the last time you…..
- Sat and quietly watched a sunset?
- Hiked a beautiful path to the soundtrack of birdsong?
- Dipped in and out of a soothing hydrotherapy pool following a relaxing massage?
- Feasted on healthy and delicious cuisine (with the bonus of no preparation and clean-up)?
- Read half a book in an afternoon with the sun on your face?
- Stretched your aching muscles in a peaceful morning yoga class before breakfast on the beach?
News Flash: The Beach is Good for Your Health!
#1 It is good for stress relief
Calming waves and sun are a natural stressbuster, as is the “salt air/beach smell” so many love. Inhaling negative ions and viewing “blue space” are good for mental health.
# 2 It’s good for your skin
Saltwater helps heal blemishes and cuts, while also reducing inflammation and pain. The sand acts as a natural exfoliant. (Don’t forget to slather on plenty of sunscreen though!)
#3 It’s good for getting moving
Walking on the sand is a more intense workout than walking on concrete. Get in some steps and then indulge your playful side by jumping over the waves!
With all that said, are you ready?
