If the sweltering heat, humidity, and bugs have you down, it’s time to get creative about how you keep your cool this summer. No air conditioning in your apartment? No problem. Feeling unproductive and lethargic? No problem. Here are 5 of our favorite ways at S&G Cleaning to keep yourself chilled out and stress-free no matter where you are or what you’re doing this summer!
1) Go for a walk.
The summer sun can be intense, but that doesn’t mean you have to stay indoors all day. Walking is a great way to get some exercise and fresh air, and it can help clear your mind. Just be sure to wear sunscreen and stay hydrated! Exercise also helps release endorphins into the body which will give you an overall sense of well-being and happiness. There are plenty of excuses for not exercising this summer (it’s too hot outside, I don’t want to sweat, etc.), but those are just excuses. Start by going for a 10-minute walk around the block or down the street than work your way up from there as long as you’re comfortable with it.
2) Start journaling or writing.
One of the best ways to destress is to simply start writing. It can be anything from a journal entry to a story, to a letter. Writing can help you process your thoughts and feelings, and can be a great outlet for pent-up stress. Journaling is a therapeutic way to release stress and emotions. It can also be used as a tool to identify and work through any negative thoughts or feelings you may have. Journaling can also help boost your mood and attitude, as well as improve your overall mental health. This is because journaling gives you an opportunity to reflect and also unleash your creativity. Invest in a nice journal and some pens, and even fun tapes and stickers if you are interested. Then, allocate some time each day for your journal. Plus, it’s a great way to document your summer memories!
3) Get into a new summer TV show.
A new TV show can provide a much-needed distraction from the heat of summer. It can also be a great way to bond with friends or family members who are also looking for a way to escape the heat. Plus, getting into a new TV show can help you learn more about yourself and the world around you. Here are twenty of our favorite shows to watch this summer:

4) Check out a local museum, aquarium, or other eventful sites.
Summertime is a great opportunity to get out and explore your local community. Check out a museum, aquarium, or other eventful sites to learn something new and take your mind off of your stressors. Plus, you can escape the heat while you’re at it. Not only will you be able to escape the heat, but you’ll also learn something unique or find a new interest. And, if you plan ahead, you can buy tickets online so you don’t have to stand in line in the sun. Even better, a lot of museums and sites as such have free days for visitation, or at least discounts for kids and senior citizens.
5) Spend time with friends and family.
Summer is the perfect time to catch up with friends and family. One of the best ways to destress and feel refreshed is to spend time with people you enjoy being around. Connect with close friends, or reconnect with an old friend. Old friends are great too – catch up over coffee or lunch and reminisce about good times. If you would prefer to kindle new relationships, now is a great time to meet new people. Join a club, go to events, or simply strike up conversations with people you see often. You can plan to do something you both, or all, would enjoy, such as a pool day, cookout, road trip, or movie night.
Bonus: Schedule a house cleaning.
It’s summertime, which means the weather is hot and sticky. The last thing you want to do is spend your precious free time cleaning your house. But a clean house can help you feel more relaxed and organized, which can, in turn, help you de-stress. A clean house will help you feel more relaxed and organized.
