The icy paws of winter have finally released us from their blizzardy clutches! Cherry blossoms, sunshine, and general cheerfulness have started to turn the world to a new shade of beautiful.

Why not take the time for a mental spring clean? Here are 5 tips from us to recharge your mind, body and soul.

1. Nourish Your Body

Physical and mental health go hand in hand. You may start to incorporate a more balanced diet into your life, include some superfoods such as chia seeds, flax seed and cacao powder into your diet. Or start taking care of your body by simply drinking more water.

2. Cultivate “Me Time”

Dedicate some alone time with no engagements or distractions, to fully indulge in your favorite self-care rituals. Meditation, hiking, and yoga are some good ideas of external acts that promote internal reflection and give you the opportunity to tune into your inner world.

3. Forgive And Let Go

Releasing your grip on a grudge can free up emotional energy that you can invest in more positive areas in your life. This will give you peace of mind and help you to move on gracefully.

4. Step Out Of Your Comfort Zone

It can be taking up a new hobby or buying a plane ticket to a destination that has been on your bucket list, or simply changing the route of your daily routine. Challenge yourself to get out of your comfort zone. You will feel empowered to keep growing and learning.

5. Keep A Journal

Write down your everyday reflections or even make a gratitude list, it can be as simple as the delightful matcha green tea ice-cream you had after work. Showing gratitude will help you find joy in the smallest things in life.
