Will Your Summer Be A Slugfest or a Butterfly
Bonanza?! |
Now that summer's here and everyone's brains are melting faster than a popsicle in a stir-fry, I promise I won't say the s-word, (and if you don't know what the s-word is, think of the one place you're not during the summer).
Think about this, though: did you ever notice that summer goes by really fast, and that at the end of it, you're totally brainfried – even though you didn't even do anything – and you can't get your brain back on those things related to the s-word? Yeah? Well, there's a reason that happens. If you don't do summer right, it ends up like a game of Red Light / Green Light.
Either you:
-
a) get yourself kicked out
of the game by running the red light and breaking your arm by smacking into the
tree behind the gal who's It, or
b) you never get your groove going because you keep waiting for the go-ahead.
If it's done right, summer is a huge window of opportunity to recharge your brain without turning it off completely. We can't be the GetDown Gecko or Slacker the Snail at the expense of turning our brains into dust bunnies – but it doesn't mean we have to live and die by the s-word, either.
So, the good news is...
that you don't have to hit summertime at 110 m.p.h. or sit around and wait for
that right shade of green for a rockin’ time.
The bad news is...
that only some catastrophic weather event can make summer last longer.
