7 Steps to Spring Clean your Health

Although winter is lingering this year; the days are definitely getting longer and blossom is on the trees. Oh yes spring is in the air!

This is the ideal time to embrace the uplifting energy of the new season and create better daily habits to help you move forward with greater clarity and - dare I say it - a spring in your step.

Just like you might spring clean your house; here are 7 Simple Steps to upgrade your health and wellbeing with simple routines you can add to your day.

Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.’ 

- Jim Rohn

1. Reset your sleep schedule

• Turn your phone onto airplane mode before bed - it reduces your exposure to blue light prior to sleep, and creates space away from social media and constant communication.
• Aim to wake with the sun.

“Sleep is profoundly intertwined with virtually every aspect of brain health. Lack of sleep over time can lead to an irreversible loss of brain cells—yet another debunking of the myth that sleep debt can be made up.”

― Arianna Huffington

2. Meditate each day

• Commit to just 2 minutes, start simply to help you stick to it.
• Pick a general time each day (e.g. morning when you wake up or during your lunch break). Find a quiet spot and take a comfortable seat. Focus on your breath - the inhale and the exhale.

“Meditation is a vital way to purify and quiet the mind, thus rejuvenating the body” – Deepak Chopra

3. Head outside and take a walk

• Spring is a great season to get outside and enjoy nature as it starts to bloom, take the time to breath in the fresh air and enjoy the morning sunshine.

4. Squeeze lemon in your water each morning

• People who drink lemon water in the morning report that they experience a big mental boost and have increased energy! Plus, it's filled with vitamin C.

5. Listen to some music that inspires you

• Music is a very powerful neurological tool that helps us change our mindset and mood, so listening to your favorite tunes while performing different activities is a great motivational exercise.

“Music can heal the wounds which medicine cannot touch.”– Debasish Mridha

6. Refresh your workout — try a new yoga practice, workout or hike

• Trying new types of workouts is a great way to improve your health and stay motivated.

7. Declutter

Letting go of clutter helps to energetically clear space to allow fresh ideas and clearer thinking into our lives & live more mindfully in the present moment. Decluttering can work wonders for your mental clarity and focus.
