158: Spring-to-Summer Habit Shift for Women 50+: 3 Uplifting Steps to Realign with the Season

158: Spring-to-Summer Habit Shift for Women 50+: 3 Uplifting Steps to Realign with the Season

Author: Lorrie Mickelson, Habits & Self Care June 28, 2025 Duration: 26:58

You're ready for summer ... right?


You've been wearing your BIRKENSTOCKS since the May long weekend, but have you really fully engaged in the energy of summer yet?


Today, on Episode #158 of the Habit Thrive Podcast, we're going to bring our foundational habits from the spring into the summer.


Step 1: Think about your non-negotiables. What are you going to stick with over the summer, no questions asked?


It might be a skincare routine or a morning movement.


Or, perhaps you just can't give up your daily walk (you just might move it from the afternoon to the evening).


Step 2: What are you going to let go of?


What habits just don't fit in this season?


It could be your famous chili recipe that gets tucked away until October.


Or you could ditch your indoor exercise class and opt for something outside instead.


Step 3: Take it a step further - What else can you let go of?


Overscheduling.

Perfectionism.

Meditations that don't match your rhythm.


Free yourself from anything that feels like something you "should" do instead of something you "want" to do (even if it's exercise!).


These are our Me Now years, ladies!


The years when we can be more courageous and unapologetic.


Remember: We're not building habits to impress anyone else. We're building them to reclaim our time, our power, our energy, and our awesomeness.


Love,

Lorrie xoxox
