The perfect sauna round … does not exist! And the reason is very simple: striving for perfection is incredibly exhausting. We could provide you with a laundry list of to do’s for “the most de-stressing sauna visit,” but let that to-do list be what you want to leave at home. The biggest “challenge” of the day is to be in the “here and now” as much as possible without judgment. We list some simple yet fun intentions that you can set at the beginning of your visit to get you started on your way to a wonderful moment of relaxation:

• Feel grass with your bare feet
• Listen to the sound of the wind
• Feel sunlight or raindrops on your face
• Enjoy the song of a bird
• Experience sweat drops rolling down your back
• Say what you are grateful for today

Congratulations … you are practicing mindfulness and are in the “here and now” without purpose, nor judgment. Extra tip: don’t take this ‘challenge’ too literally; you don’t have to achieve anything at all!
