Radiant and Refreshed: Your Summer Self-Care Guide at Tideline Women’s Health

How often do you take time to step back from your busy lifestyle and unwind? Self-care is vital for a healthy body and mind, and summer is the perfect time to build on your self-care practices. At Tideline Center for Health & Aesthetics, we can help you focus on your overall well-being. Here are some self-care tips and ways you can spend some essential time focusing on yourself this summer.

What is Self-Care?

Self-care does not have one definition because it refers to any activities that nurture your body and mind. This includes physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual forms of self-care. The mind and body are closely interconnected. A healthy body helps your brain work properly and maintain a positive mindset; the same is true for a good mindset and its impact on bodily functions. Self-care looks different for everyone – for you, it may be more helpful to get a good night’s sleep whereas someone else might need to set boundaries. Think about what you need most and start there.

Self-Care Practices for the Summertime

During the summer, work and school slow down and children are off from school. Warm weather creates many opportunities to get outside. It’s the perfect time to practice self-care and take some time for yourself!

Exercise Outside

Spending time outdoors, especially in green spaces surrounded by nature, are a great way to lower your stress, boost your mood, and keep yourself enjoying relaxation. Physical activity like walking, hiking, running, playing basketball in the park, and practicing yoga outside are also fun ways to stay active without having to go to the gym.

Socialize with Friends

In-person social interaction is essential to a healthy life. It has been scientifically proven to boost brain health, mood, and even physical health. This summer, put down the phone and make plans for barbeques, pool parties, or beach trips with your friends. Also make it a habit to reach out to your friends regularly to chat.

Quiet Time with Yourself

Giving your mind and body time to rest is just as important as socialization. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by obligations and an excess of summer plans, remember that it is okay to say “no” so that you can take time for yourself. Meditation, journaling, reading, and watching TV are all great ways to unwind and engage with multiple forms of self-care. Implement these things into your daily routine to manage stress and improve your mental well-being.

Buy a New Summer Wardrobe

Having summer clothes that fit properly can help you maintain a positive body image, especially in the summer when people often wear more revealing clothes like swimwear and shorts. Remember that clothes should fit your body, not the other way around, so don’t feel like you must fit into a certain size or style.

Hydrate

Remembering to stay hydrated is especially important in the hot and humid summer months. Dehydration can make you feel dizzy and tired, especially when the sun shines brighter, and these are uncomfortable symptoms that no one wants to experience. The amount of water that each person needs varies but try keeping a large water bottle with you as a reminder to drink water. Hydration can also come from water-rich foods like cucumbers or watermelon. These foods can even give you a nutrient boost with healthy eating.

Create a Schedule

Oftentimes summer brings the benefit of more flexible hours. Having a routine is still important. A lack of a routine can become overwhelming and make it difficult to maintain healthy habits. Creating a loose schedule with your daily habits and self-care practices like meditation, journaling, or reading can help you feel more grounded.

Self-Care Treatments at Tideline

Skincare treatments are a form of physical self-care, and we offer several treatments to rejuvenate your mind and body. Consider the following treatments for self-care this summer:

PRP

Physical pleasure is an important form of self-care. PRP can improve sexual functioning, improving your emotional well-being and intimate relationships. PRP requires only a small blood sample and has no restrictions on your activities afterward. You can notice results within a few days to weeks.

ThermiSmooth® Face

ThermiSmooth® Face is a radiofrequency skin tightening treatment that combats premature aging by stimulating collagen production. Collagen and elastin are proteins in the skin that give it elasticity, firmness, and volume. Natural aging causes collagen production to slow, leading to sagging skin and deep wrinkles. ThermiSmooth® lifts and tightens sagging skin to improve the look of hollow cheeks, jowls, laugh lines, droopy eyelids, and more.

The Benefits of Self-Care in the Summer

During the summer, there is less hustle and bustle and more time to relax. You might have more free time to explore self-care activities and develop a routine that can guide you into the busier holiday season. There are many easy and free ways to care for your mind and body and we encourage you to take advantage of the warm summer months by developing a self-care strategy that works for you.
