HSPs & Empaths - fabricate the effects of summer with these fun activities
For those of us who live in a cold weather climate, it can be easy to crawl into our caves and hibernate 'til Spring. But for HSP/empaths, this can put us into an energy hibernation where everything is heavy and sluggish. And we're not talking about just our physical or mental energy — our emotional and spiritual energy suffer, too!
To help keep your spirit sunny over the winter, try one of these fun activities:
Once our kids get to the age where they go to the mall instead of the ice rink, we tend to hang up our own skates and soon forget how vibrant and alive we felt playing outdoors. Yet we don't necessarily need to participate to benefit from the joyful energy of watching the kids on the sledding hill or skating in the park. Simply being around the energy of others playing can give us a boost.
And while physical activity obviously offers huge health benefits, most of that can still be achieved at the gym. The outdoor activities that can benefit HSP/empaths is breathing and grounding. Try doing this exercise for five minutes each day:
Have a tropical party! Call your friends and tell 'em to pull out their Hawaiian shirts and shorts. With a few party decorations, some tropical music and umbrella drinks, you can create the warm, high-energy atmosphere that stimulates those happy "summer" hormones.
Summer your space. You can create the energy of summer by picking a room or a corner and filling it with colorful decor, tropical lights and exotic flowers (moth orchids are especially beautiful and easy to grow). Just like you would use a zen space for meditation, this space serves to rejuvenate your summer senses.
Turn on some hot flicks. Forget Love Actually and Ground Hog Day. Pull out all your summer favorites and soak up the feelings of love in the sun and surf. Here are a few of my top picks:
The more you can surround yourself with the summer vibration (external sensory stimulation) and plug in your imagination, the more you will shift that slow, sluggish winter energy to the brighter, lighter energy.
