How We’re Finding Mindfulness, Adventure, and Wonder This Summer

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It feels like summertime! We are sweating through this heat wave and counting down the days until our two-week trip to Italy! In this episode, we’re sharing all the ways we’re looking to find and add more mindfulness, adventure, and child-like wonder to our summer. Whether you’re going on a luxury trip abroad or spending the summer at home, there are so many ways to find adventure wherever you are!</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Some key takeaways on getting the most out of this summer:</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Indulge in whatever you want to indulge in while you’re on vacation. If you love the process of traveling like us, splurge on your flights and hotel accommodations. If you want to save on those things so you can go all out on excursions, do that! Make your vacation yours!</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">If you catch yourself saying “I need to be more mindful,” or “I need to be more present,” just do it! Don’t make mindfulness a project, just stop what you’re doing, center your breath, and come into the present right where you are.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">One of the most amazing parts of traveling is to initiate that childlike wonder of experiencing a new culture, new people, and even a new language firsthand. Those adventures are often the least fancy ones. (Though we like the fancy trips, too!) </span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Be Powerful with Liz & Lee, formerly Hilliard Studio Podcast, is focused on helping you find your inner power and for us to share our thoughts on society, culture, and current events.
