As nature starts to flourish, and the sun replaces the lingering darkness from winter, there is a new sense of revival in the atmosphere.
With Spring coming, the days get longer, the days are warmer, and the new season invites us to embrace this renewed sense of change!
SPRING ACTIVITIES
The upcoming arrival of Spring allows for a wider variety of activities to do with your friends!
For example, going on a hike is such a fun experience to spend quality time with friends, family, and even God’s creation. You can walk around, bond with your friends, get a workout in, and use time out in nature for personal growth/connection with nature.
With Spring up-and-coming, the flowers are beginning to bloom, and The Tulip Festival in Skagit Valley is worth the two hour drive. Also, comes with numerous photo opportunities, and it is a perfect opportunity for flower lovers to see some beautiful tulips!
Another fun Spring idea may be to care for our common home! That may look like taking on gardening, picking up litter, volunteering at our very own greenhouse, or even outdoor home improvement projects.
SPRING CLEANING
As Spring arrives, just as decluttering our homes is important, it is equally important to cleanse our minds and bodies to cultivate a sense of mindfulness during this new season.
One may journal, self-reflect, and even meditate to identify areas in one’s life that may need some “decluttering”. By “spring cleaning” one’s mental state, it allows for further focus and an enhanced sense of peace to lead us into Summer with a clean slate.
Spring’s very own atmosphere of renewal sets the stage as the perfect time for personal growth.
By embracing and intentionally working on adopting a sense of mindfulness, one may reduce stress along with building connection with oneself and others.
CONCLUSION:
As it is easy to get distracted by the joys of Spring, let us not only soak in every joyous moment but also use Spring as an opportunity for self-growth.
Whether through spending time with loved ones or soaking in nature, let every experience allow oneself to embrace this sense of change and self discovery.
