The warmer weather, brighter days, and (hopefully) a let-up in your schedule, means it’s so much easier to make positive changes in your life or dream big about what you want to achieve.
Check out this list of the best ways to make this one your best summer ever.

It can be as simple as a girls’ weekend at the beach, or finally getting to see Yellowstone in all its glory but getting away from it all is great for your wellbeing, even if just for a few days. If you need to save up some cash first, then there’s no time like the present to plan next summer’s trip. - Start a journal

Plus writing down this summer’s fun will make you thankful you did when you look back in years to come. Make it fun with Polaroids, ticket stubs and other mementos. - Declutter
