With the high-energy environment and packed schedule, you’re going to want to rest! It’s going to be difficult with all that’s going on, but we encourage you to get enough sleep each night.
Even when you’re not on a boat having the time of your life, it's easy to forget to drink enough water. With all the activities and social interactions, it can be hard to find time to hydrate, so we suggest you keep a water bottle with you throughout the day.
Don't hesitate to take breaks. A moment to reset and recharge can ensure you continue to have an amazing time. If you're feeling overwhelmed or drained, find a quiet spot to be with just yourself.
While you’re on the boat, it can be magically chaotic, and sometimes even seem like you’re always running to something. A great way to stay present is to attend mindfulness or yoga workshops. Ground yourself inside the excitement of the event.
It's okay to say no to activities or conversations that don't align with your needs or values. That’s it, plain and simple. We encourage you to prioritize your well-being.
If you're feeling overwhelmed or experiencing any challenges, don't hesitate to reach out to the Summit Impact team or fellow attendees for support. You're not alone, and there are resources available to help you navigate challenges.
It’s also fun to seek support when you’re not feeling overwhelmed or challenged. Perhaps you just want to meet a new friend or connect with a different vibe. Ask around, and we have no doubt you’ll find what you’re looking for.
Embrace the unpredictability of the experience and be open to spontaneity. Plans may change, and unexpected opportunities may arise—approach them with a spirit of flexibility and openness. Yes, and…
Be kind to yourself and recognize that it's okay to have ups and downs during the event. It's common to feel pressure to be constantly engaged and "on" at Summit events due to the high energy and constant stimulation. However, it's important to take breaks and prioritize your well-being. Instead of feeling guilty or ashamed for needing time to recharge, practice self-compassion and treat yourself with the same kindness and understanding you would offer to a friend. Trust that the connections meant for you will happen in their own time, and know that withdrawing for your self-care will not impede these opportunities, but expedite them.
Dedicate a few moments each day to reflect on your experiences. Consider what felt fulfilling and what didn't resonate as much. Allow these reflections to guide your choices for the following day. In short — make space to listen to your intuition!
