Brash, brazen and in your face. Like it or loathe it, Summer is here!
With the sun at its peak, we are reminded that the sun is the source of all life. Without the sun there is no warmth, without warmth, no life. We too have our own inner fire which fuels our hopes and dreams, and Summer is the time to bring them to life.
As you surge forward, be mindful of burnout!
We must balance activity with periods of rest. This is particularly important if you’re a perfectionist, a workaholic or tend to be a bit hot-headed.

Here’s a sneak peek, including my top 5 tips to keep your cool this Summer
1. Take a siesta
Summer is the time for activity but it’s important not to overdo it! A short afternoon nap helps balance the heat and intensity of summer activity. Better still, take a whole day to do nothing.
2. Don’t add fuel to the fire
It’s hot enough as it is so avoid excess heat, steam and humidity. Now is not the time for hot showers, heated spas or infrared saunas.
3. Stay hydrated
H2o is crucial but don’t forget about fruit and vegetables with a high water content such as coconut, cucumber, lettuce, tomatoes, melon, pineapple, celery and zucchini.
4. Get up with the sun
Get up earlier and get outside to make the most of the day.
And, finally…
5. Get creative
A book, a business, a DIY or craft project… The exuberant, playful nature of this season makes it the perfect time to bring something beautiful to life!
These tips are just a glimpse of what’s included in this free guide.
