The first day of spring has finally come, and not a moment too soon. Spring is a time of renewal and rebirth, the ideal time to shake off the winter blues and give in to the vibrant energy of the season. As we welcome spring and its new beginnings, let’s prioritize wellness. From establishing spring rituals and embracing mindfulness practices to savoring seasonal greens, treat this season as an opportunity for growth and vitality.
Ahead, check out some easy tips to help you thrive (or is it bloom?) this season.
Create spring rituals
Rituals help us align our lives with what’s truly important to us. They provide structure and a sense of renewal that comes with the spring season.
When you think spring rituals and routines, you probably think spring cleaning. As hard as it may be to find motivation at first, there’s nothing like a clean, fresh space to help you reset and refocus. Not only can decluttering lead to a clearer mind and help you find your calm, but it can help your physical health as well. A deep clean can fight against those pesky spring allergies, so grab the dust cloth and vacuum and get to work!
Spending more time in nature is so beneficial for feeling your best, whether it’s going on a long walk around the neighborhood a few days a week or getting together with loved ones for a picnic in the park on the weekend. Make fresh air time a priority this season; plus, the days get longer and we enjoy an extra hour of much-needed quality time with the sun.
Eat your greens!
Spring is here, so we know what that means—fresh produce! Some of the best in-season produce to look for this season are arugula, artichokes, spinach, and asparagus.
Making sure you’re getting an adequate amount of vegetables is vital for proper nutrition and to maintain your body’s health. Greens are good for you! The USDA recommends you eat 2-3 cups of vegetables a day.

Practice mindfulness
Mindfulness is all about living in the moment and focusing on the present. As the spring season is all about a refreshed mindset and new beginnings, it’s a perfect time to practice mindfulness. Here are some ideas to get started this spring:
- Try a 5-minute meditation session. Even short sessions can help you focus on your breathing and your surroundings. Don’t pressure yourself to be the perfect meditator right away. Give it time and practice; clearing your mind doesn’t come easily!
- Do a yoga class outside and breathe in the fresh spring air.
- Set intentions through a daily journal.
- Plant some flowers or start a garden to ground yourself in nature.
