4 powerful rave habits

Raving consciously is imperative for a sustainable dance floor career. Many of you will have got into it organically, and perhaps never considered adopting any conscious habits.

Before you know it, you’re out every weekend and maybe not taking the best care of yourself or making healthy choices. You should still have fun, but consider these four powerful habits to support your raving…

THE POWER OF NO
This might be one of the hardest words to say in everyday life, let alone when you’re partying. However, saying no to others is also saying yes to yourself, so it’s an essential tool in keeping your boundaries protected and ensuring that you get the best out of your rave experience.

CHECK-INS
Whether you’re checking in with a friend to see how they are or vice versa, maintaining regular awareness around your crew is very important. Similarly, checking in with yourself and making sure all is well is a crucial habit to integrate into your lifestyle.

GET ENOUGH SLEEP
Though it may sound boring and the total opposite of the fun and frolics of a dance floor, establishing a sleep routine is one of the most powerful rave habits of all. Regular rest and recuperation will help boost your energy, facilitate optimal cognitive function and can aid emotional regulation. In fact, chronically poor (or lack of) sleep can induce psychotic episodes. So, this is a big one when it comes to mental health.

HYDRATE
Like sleep, it feels counter to the excess and debauchery that can often occur when you’re knee deep in the rave. However, water and liquid electrolytes are the elixir of the rave Gods. If you want to enjoy a marathon session with way less of a horrific payoff, HYDRATE.
