If you must go outside, choose the right hour. Never go out between 12 PM and 4 PM. That’s when the sun is basically a bully. Go at twilight, when the world glows like a soft Instagram filter.
Go for a walk but stay in the shade like a vampire with a sun allergy. Follow trees like a stalker. If you see a sprinkler, run through it. Don’t care who sees. You’re now a four-year-old in adult pajamas, and it’s glorious.

Or, find a body of water that isn’t your own sweat. A lake, a river, a neighbor’s unattended hose. Jump in. Splash. Let the water dry on your skin. You’ll look like a happy, salty lizard.

Invite a friend over for “hot day nothingness.” You’ll both sit on opposite ends of the couch, panting, saying things like, “Is it just me, or is the air thick?” The answer is always yes.
Play a board game, but only one that requires zero movement. Checkers is perfect. The only thing moving is your arm, and that’s optional. If you fall asleep mid-game, that counts as a win.
And if all else fails, call your mom. She’ll tell you to drink water and wear a hat. You’ll roll your eyes, but secretly, you’ll feel a little cooler from the love. Heat makes you homesick, even if you’re home.
