Rx for Resilience: Spring
Spring is a time for new beginnings and transformations. One of the best ways to think about spring is to start fresh and start over. As the grass gets greener, the flowers bloom, and the leaves begin to grow, think about the positive changes and impacts you’d like to make. Springtime is a time to spiritually, physically, and emotionally experience a renewal of the soul, body, and mind.
Take this opportunity to change your mindset and set achievable goals. This could look many ways, but the easiest way to start is by practicing self-care. Take advantage of the longer days and go for a walk, limit your screen time by setting boundaries, spring clean, meditate but most importantly, take a day to devote to yourself. In the age of technology, we tend to lose focus on the importance of connecting. Spring is a good reminder of how no matter how cold the previous months were, there is always sunshine to come. The sun’s warmth melts the snow, and the rain helps plants grow. This is symbolism for our lives. We all experience difficult moments, but with tender love and care, we come out of those situations even stronger than before,
This upcoming season is an excellent opportunity to plant a seed and be the root for those who need you. Here are a few ways to help others during this time of transformation and, in doing so, help yourself:
- Build gratitude- Helping others could put everything into perspective and give you a fresh outlook.
- Connect- We are social by nature, so get out there, enjoy the sun, and get to know the people within your community.
- Positivity: Being negative is easy, especially when life isn’t perfect. The more positive energy you give out, the more you will receive.
Take this season to reflect on your life and make positive changes. Help others and grow into the person you want to be.
