Spring is a time of renewal. Winter is receding and daylight is expanding. What’s not to like?! It makes me want to “spring into action” and I feel ready to take on the world. How about you? What would be a positive way to shake off winter and embrace a new season? Maybe it’s time to renew your goals or try something new? Maybe it’s time to do a deep cleaning… of your home, your wardrobe, your budget? There are lots of ways to spring into action and celebrate renewal. Let’s explore a few ideas to get your engine started.
Spring into Action! Idea #1: Bring some joy into your life.
Let’s see, what has slipped over the winter months – Exercise? Meditation? Cooking healthy meals? Take a few moments to think about what’s gone by the wayside this winter – something that makes you feel good and that you’ve been missing – and then commit to bringing that joyful activity back into your day or week. Why not start today? Do some stretching exercises during a commercial break this evening, schedule a pedicure, put in a yoga DVD, take 5 minutes to meditate, or choose a healthy recipe (from that stack you’ve been adding to all winter) and put the ingredients on your grocery list. And then smile!
Spring into Action! Idea #2: Get organized.
If you’re like me, you’ve not only been stockpiling ideas from magazines like healthy recipes, but you’ve been creating a pile of clothes and other stuff that needs to go to charity. Or maybe your purse is a mess from all the winter supplies we carry around – lozenges, tissues, lip balm, etc. Take a deep breath. And then choose one thing. I’m not advocating a huge, tear-up-the-house-and-be-sorry-you-started-it project. Oh no, I want you to start small and be successful. Here’s my challenge to you: choose something small that you can organize today (it could be your purse, one kitchen cabinet, or a corner of your bedroom)… and go to it. Enjoy it! Relish the feeling of accomplishment.
Spring into Action! Idea #3: Buddy up and get outside.
Call a friend and make plans to get outside together. Go for a walk together and discuss ways to help each other “spring into action” and how you can provide support for each other’s plans. Or get together and do some spring planting. Soak up some sunshine, convert that vitamin D, get a lift to your spirit, and grow something beautiful for yourself, your family, your neighborhood, or your community. Make that call, send that email or text to someone you enjoy being with and celebrate the changing of the seasons today.
Spring into Action! Idea #4: Spring clean your thoughts.
Shake off those winter doldrums and those thoughts that weigh you down. When you find yourself thinking a repetitive negative thought, respond with an alternate thought that is believable and positive. For example, when I think “There’s not enough time to exercise today” I can respond to my thought with “Okay, but I’ve got 1 minute right now while I’m in my car, so I can do some ab crunches while I sit at this stop light.” Hey, I just turned around that negative thought, perked up my confidence, showed my brain that I DO have time to exercise today, and did something good for my body.
Small changes can have a BIG impact over time… give it a try.
My Challenge to YOU: Try something from my list or come up with your own “Spring into Action!” idea. Let me know what YOU do to spring into action. I love to hear all of your creative ideas and success stories!
Spring into action today and enjoy the changing seasons!
