The carefree days of summer are upon us, so it's time to tap into your inner child and have a little fun. Laughter and happiness feed the soul and summer is a perfect time to break free from the humdrum. Why not play hooky this month? Get off the rollercoaster of everyday life and carve out time just for yourself.

Ride real rollercoasters, and seek out other inexpensive fun summer activities, such as:

• Evening walks
• Swimming or fishing
• Picnics at the shore or state parks
• Minor-league baseball games
• Street fairs

Do whatever helps you recharge your internal batteries. By taking time for yourself, you will realize both mental and physical benefits that can help you reduce stress, lower your blood pressure, boost your immune system and improve your mood.
