Summer Self-Care Reset: Auditing Your Routines and Self-Care Practices

With summer comes the busyness of the silly season! So right now is the perfect time to revisit our routines to ensure we are keeping on top of taking care of ourselves during this time. A self-care reset helps us check in, reconnect, and align our routines with how we want to feel in the season ahead. Here are some ideas to support a simple summer self-care reset!

One great place to start is journaling. By reflecting on what’s working and what isn’t, so we can find ways to bring more ease and enjoyment into our day. Below are journal prompts to help you audit your current routine, check in with yourself, and make small shifts toward a more balanced, fulfilling summer ahead. 

 

JOURNAL PROMPTS FOR YOUR SUMMER SELF-CARE AUDIT

1. Reflecting on your current routines

Which parts of my daily routine feel energising, and which feel draining?

How aligned do my routines feel with my goals and values this season?

2. Physical and mental wellbeing check-in

What signals has my body been sending me lately? (e.g., energy, tension, sleep)

How can my routine better support rest, recovery, or clarity of mind?

3. Exploring your needs and boundaries

How connected do I feel to myself each day? What helps me stay grounded?

Are there areas where I’m overextending? Where could I benefit from setting a boundary?

4. Setting intentions for the season

If I could design my ideal daily routine, what would it look like?

What new habit could I introduce to feel more present and grounded?

5. Visualising your summer self-care routine

What do I want my energy, mood, and mindset to feel like by summer’s end?

What practices help me show up fully for myself and those I care about?

With a bit more clarity on where you’d like a refresh, let’s dive into some key focus areas— making small, meaningful changes that can nourish you inside and out this summer.

KEY AREAS YOU CAN FOCUS ON

1. NOURISHING YOUR MIND & BODY

Nourishing your body and mind with a balanced diet—rich in protein, leafy greens, fruits, and whole foods—helps create the foundation for energy, mental clarity, and overall well-being. Taking time to fuel your body mindfully supports both resilience and vitality, especially as life gets busier. For those hectic days when staying balanced feels challenging, Naked Harvest’s Plant Protein is an easy, nourishing (and delicious!) addition to smoothies, pancakes or just by itself!

2. MOVING YOUR BODY

Movement isn’t just for physical health; it’s a powerful way to lift mood and clear the mind. Find ways to move your body that bring you joy! Whether it’s a beach walk, dancing at home, a strength session or a yoga flow. For post-workout fuel, Naked Harvest’s Plant Protein Powder is a great addition. With digestion-friendly ingredients and botanicals like maca and ginseng, it supports recovery and sustained energy, blending perfectly into a refreshing smoothie.

3. CREATING MOMENTS OF CALM 

With end-of-year social gatherings and the general busyness of summer, it’s easy to feel rushed. Taking a few minutes for mindfulness, breathing, or journaling can make a world of difference. These small pauses allow you to reset, so you’re better able to manage stress and stay grounded.

4. STAYING HYDRATED TO KEEP YOUR GLOW

Hydration is one of the simplest ways to support the body and mind, especially in the summer heat! Drinking water, enjoying hydrating fruits, and adding Gorgeous Greens to your routine can keep you refreshed and glowing. Packed with antioxidants, it’s a great complement to summer hydration.

5. CREATING AN EVENING ROUTINE FOR REST & BALANCE

Summer evenings are ideal for letting the day’s busyness drift away. Building a calming evening ritual—like sipping herbal tea, gentle stretching, or reading a few pages of a book—can signal to your mind and body that it’s time to unwind. A consistent wind-down routine nurtures restful sleep, helping you wake up refreshed and ready to embrace each new day.

EMBRACE YOUR SUMMER SELF CARE RESET

You don’t have to overhaul everything to feel good; sometimes, it’s the little adjustments that make the biggest difference. Each step you take in your summer self-care reset creates routines that honour both where you are and where you want to go. These simple changes can help you feel refreshed, balanced, and ready to make the most of the season.
