SPRING IS A LOVELY REMINDER OF HOW BEAUTIFUL CHANGE CAN TRULY BE.
For many, spring represents new beginnings. It is an opportunity to hit the refresh button on different aspects in life. It can be seen as a chance to get rid of old things that are no longer serving you and replace them with new things that do. We spring clean and declutter our homes to increase productivity, we can do the same for our minds and bodies.
Our self-care needs change over time because we change and the things around us change all the time. The way that you've always dealt with stress and adversity may not be working for you anymore.
If you're not feeling any different then your current self-care practices aren't working and it's time to switch it up. Allow the new season to motivate you. If you're searching for new methods, put some thought into it and be open to trying new things.
Are you familiar with the clean feel and fresh smell of a neat and well-organized space? A mental spring cleaning can do the same for your brain it can give you a boost of energy and feelings of accomplishment and motivation!It's Time for Spring Cleaning.
