100 Days of Blue 2023
20th May, 2023
So here we are… it is #100DaysofBlue
Welcome to 100 Days of Blue 2023. Turn your life and social media BLUE.
It is our 10th year leading and championing #100daysofblue and as part of #teambluemind we are again inviting you to get near, in, on, or under water to gain ALL the health benefits that time in blue space brings – particularly the Emotional ones!
This year once again our wider and growing #bluehealthcoach community are on hand to invite and encourage more and more people to get out into blue spaces.
Real or Virtual Blue
If you cannot get to wild water – even domestic blue spaces have restorative benefits (dancing under the garden sprinkler system for instance). For some connecting with art, music, film and poetry and more virtual blue experiences will be your way to get your Blue Mind on!
Wild Water Expands our Blue Mind
Of course if you CAN get to wild water please invite others to join you – perhaps those who normally do not connect as much as they could with their H2O. Let’s create a ripple effect!
Keep it Simple and Fun
What ever your Blue Mind time, we want to share your story. No need to over think it… As I’ve said – simply get near, in, on or under water – Below are some words relating to just some of the health benefits of time around water.
I and the blue health coach crew will provide additional phrases, activities and questions throughout the #100daysofblue on social media to prompt some reflection if that helps… but it really is super-simple…
Read J’s Book
STILL ONE OF MY FAVOURITE BOOKS
Spending time with water will “make you happier healthier more connected and better at what you do”. If you haven’t yet read Blue Mind, discover some of the surprising science of blue space – take a look.
Buy two copies – one to read and one to pass on to somebody you love, and you can even buy copies of the book through this website, so check out the Ocean Inspired link.
Post images of your water-time via social media – I love seeing and hearing about how you are experiencing water – be it ocean, lakes, rivers, creeks, float spas and even the hot tub.
It is always a joy to see the social media pages of our friends turn blue around this time of year and this even includes those those we would not immediately describe as “water people”.
