#institutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking Welcome to the start of summer! Now slow down. You don't want to miss anything by hurrying past it. And there is no need to sweat even more, unless you're also having fun while doing it. That's the wisdom of summer. It teaches us to be fully awake, engaged and open to everything around us. It's about being outside, whether on populated streets or deep in nature. See more It's the season for relaxing and the pursuit of happiness (a phrase immortalized one summer nearly 250 Fourth of Julys ago). So get out! Go camping, or at least spend the day in the woods. Savor cherries, peaches, watermelon, funnel cake and ice cream. Gulp lemonade. Get wet, see an outdoor performance or two, watch movies and thunderstorms, enjoy books with scant literary merit just for the guilty pleasure of it. In his book "The Rural Life," Verlyn Klinkenborg referred to summer as "the season in which leisure swells like a tomato, until it's round and red and ripe." Take a slow, juicy bite. Summer is life. And life is precious and wild -- and it moves too fast. Life is precious I understand the argument against the season: It's hot, sticky and, sometimes, boring. Tempers can flare. There is not enough air conditioning and, because of the climate crises, already too much. But summer is a state of mind. Whatever we do during its few months, summertime remains fixed in our collective consciousness. This is the season when many of our deepest memories are forged; it plays a starring role in the highlight reel of our childhood.

As summer unfolds, it's a beautiful reminder of the natural cycle of beginnings and endings. The start of summer brings new opportunities to bask in the sunshine, embark on adventures, and create lasting memories. At the same time, it’s a chance to reflect on what we’ve achieved so far and realign our goals for the rest of the year. Just like the changing seasons, life is full of transitions. Summer is the perfect time to pause, appreciate the beauty around us, and make adjustments if we need a course correction. Whether setting new personal or professional goals, reconnecting with loved ones, or simply relaxing and rejuvenating, let's use this season to check in, realign our intentions if necessary, and embrace the present. How will you work towards a summer filled with growth, joy, and purposeful realignment? #SummerBeginnings #EmbraceChange #NewStarts #RealignGoals #AwarenessActionAccountability

The summer is often a time for reflection and recharging. It is easy to end up in mindless, time-filling activities that do not really add anything to our lives. With this post, my intent is to challenge you, dear reader, as well as myself to use part of the time to reflect on our lives and decide if you are squeezing the most out of it. And, if not, what you are going to do about it. In the end, life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you respond to it. Have a great summer! https://lnkd.in/d9rRTKat This blog will be back in the middle of August.

I help people build better social connection and well-being. Social psychologist, strategist, trainer and coach.
Summer! Sunny days, warmer weather, no school. Hot car rides, the beach, the pool, sand, bugs, sunscreen, smoky air, humidity, sunburn, poison ivy, grass pollen, summer camp (bunk beds?), sweaty commutes, family reunions, boredom, wet bathing suits and disrupted schedules. Summer can be a mixed blessing. ON THE PLUS SIDE: Welcome relief from intense school and work schedules. More time to sleep, relax and catch up with friends and family, and explore new places, new food, new people. ON THE DOWNSIDE: A challenge given less structure, a different set of social challenges, and the unpleasant heat and humidity that can make socializing less than comfortable whether indoors, or outside, in the park, at the (dreaded) pool party, wedding on the beach, or in the tiny cabin (or camper) without air conditioning. Let's talk social connection (and well-being) in the steamy months ahead.
