Trying new things is one of the best ways to add some excitement to your day. As trying new things helps us rediscover the adventurous spirit of our youth.

Here are 6 fun activities you can try that will help you feel more energized, inspired, and will boost your health at the same time:

1. Relax Your Body and Mind with Adult Coloring Books

Coloring isn't just for kids anymore! 

Adult coloring books have become a popular way to relax, reduce stress, and express creativity. 

So if you feel your creative urges aren’t being met, set aside some time to do some coloring. As your mind unwinds, you might be surprised at how much calmer and positive you feel afterwards.

2. Try Laughter Yoga to Boost Your Mood

Laughter really is the best medicine. But most of us don’t laugh enough these days.

To the rescue is “Laughter Yoga”!

Laughter Yoga combines exercises designed to help you laugh with deep breathing to boost mood, reduce stress, and even improve immune function. 

You can find plenty of videos on YouTube that guide you in how to perform Laughter Yoga. Or you may be able to attend a Laugher Yoga Class in your local town if you’re feeling brave.

3. Go for a Walk at Sunrise for a Natural Energy Boost

Before your morning coffee, why not energize your body and mind with a sunrise hike?

The combination of gentle exercise, fresh air, and the serenity of walking through a world still waking up will leave you feeling invigorated and ready to seize the day.

Daily 30 minute walks will work wonders for your waistline and all round health too.

4. Phone-Free Days to Unplug and Relax

In our constantly connected world, it's easy to waste hours hunched over our phones and computers.

So this summer why not try to break free of technology’s addictive clutches by going phone-free? Or at least, turning the internet connection off.

Then go outside to enjoy activities that get you moving and reduce stress, like hiking, gardening, or a day out with the grandkids. 

You'll be surprised at how much more relaxed you feel after a tech-free day.

5. Take a Qi Gong Class for Mind-Body Balance

Qi Gong is an ancient Chinese practice that combines gentle movement, breathing, and meditation to promote balance, flexibility, and inner peace. 

The slow, flowing movements are easy on the joints, and the mind-body connection will leave you feeling centered and energized.

You may be able to find a Qi Gong class in your area, or you can find videos on how to perform it at home on YouTube. 

6. Volunteer at a Local Animal Shelter

Spending time with animals has been shown to reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and boost mood.

So why not volunteer at your local animal shelter to help improve your health while helping out a great cause? 

You'll get plenty of exercise playing with the pups and kitties, and you might even find a new forever friend!

So that’s a wrap.

Try adding a few of these fun activities to your daily schedule this summer, and you’ll soon rediscover the spirit of adventure you enjoyed in your youth.

Remember, one of the keys to happiness is pursuing new goals and accomplishing new things. 

So go ahead and try something new each day to keep your mind, body and spirit feeling young.
