What steps will you take to re-energize your life and take advantage of the warmer weather? At the beginning of each season, it is a good idea to take an inventory of what things create positivity in your life. Spring cleaning can be a metaphor for getting rid of the old and finding new inspiration. (Perhaps getting rid of an old pair of shoes and replacing them with a new pair of fun sneakers will motivate you to get outdoors).
Ask what behaviors make you feel good about yourself? Have you been hibernating in your warm home? The weather is warming up and covid numbers are going down. Now is the time to create positive energy. It's great to be able to do more outdoors. Go for long walks and enjoy the rebirth of life surrounding us. In nature the leaves are growing, and flowers are blooming. Become a part of this rebirth.
Be adventurous and find new places to explore. Ask what you can do to expand your horizons. Perhaps it's a good idea to find activities to partake in. Maybe you can try pickle ball or or consider an art class. If you explore you will find others who share common interests with you.
Renewal requires internal reflection to see how we are growing both emotionally and developmentally. Exercise and walking are important for your physical health. Making new connections and expanding current ones are also vital for our emotional well-being. Participation in fun activities are a great way to cultivate new friendships with others. It's always a good idea to suggest a quick meet-up before or after the activity for a cup of coffee. As shared in my book, a coffee connection can go a long way to begin the renewal process.
