I was practicing lots of active meditation while hiking, canoeing and climbing. Of course, camping makes it really easy to follow the rhythms of nature, because you definitely go to bed with the sun, get up with the sun and 24 hrs a day are breathing the amazing rich Prana.

You don't even have to try very hard it happens naturally. Your core, your soul, however you want to call it, knows exactly what is good for you and wants you to be healthy and happy. Our mind, on the other hand, often plays tricks on us and wants to punish us. Getting to the body, away from the mind, is the first step in changing bad habits.

Other easy tricks that help you in changing bad habits:

1) Exercise. Get in your body, sweat, detox, feel great.
2) Get up with the sun, go to bed with the sun.
3) Spend time in nature.
4) Spend time in the sun.
5) Spend time with children.
6) Laugh.
7) Do what makes you happy.
8) Work less.
9) Get up from your computer and stretch (right now . . . really, I mean it, get up and stretch). You know some basic stretches, right? If not, just clasp your hands behind your back and interlock your fingers, stretch your chest, open your heart. Or go to Yoga Poses
10) Eat fresh, home made food.
11) Eat fruits and vegetables.
12) Drink plenty of water.

And why do I call these tricks? Because when you first look at them they probably don't look like something that will help you in changing bad habits ,but often your bad habits keep you away from loving yourself. When you do what is good for you, when you love yourself, the bad habits often disappear on their own, without your consciousness. So, have fun this summer and enjoy your life!
