Today is the Summer Solstice and, while [I learned my lesson about trying to explain the science of the Solstice](https://writingcooperative.com/do-you-write-short-form-content-8e041630c264?ref=justincox.com), I do know it marks the **official* start of the Summer. Here in Orlando, it’s **felt* like summer for weeks. As I write this, the high for today is 97°F/36.1°C. That’s **hot*. So hot, in fact, that I tend to spend most of my time indoors.

Prior to the onslaught of summer-like heat, I was walking daily. Not only was it a great [wellness strategy](https://writingcooperative.com/do-you-practice-writers-wellness-efcaa7ef1319?ref=justincox.com), but it boost my creativity by giving my mind space to wander. Since walking through nearly 100% humidity isn’t my idea of **stimulating*, I’ve returned to yoga. Thanks to Apple Fitness, I have access to great yoga and meditation courses whenever I need a break.

Not only does yoga help my fitness, but it also helps my overall wellbeing. My mind is clearer and I always feel more creative after practicing. Since today also happens to be [International Yoga Day](https://nationaltoday.com/international-yoga-day/?ref=justincox.com), it’s a fitting chance to see if yoga is a good option for your own writing wellbeing.
