Out With the Cold, In With the Blooms

March 25, 2024 (repost from March 27, 2023)

It’s officially spring! But, I don’t think Mother Nature knows yet. I’m also not getting my hopes up for winter to be totally over, since we usually get that one last hoorah of snow in April. However, that doesn’t mean that we can’t look forward to spring.

Some of the best things about spring and summer are the opportunities for fresh starts and new beginnings.  The leaves on the trees, the budding flower bulbs, the sun shining longer. This is also a prime time for you to start something fresh.

New habits

Spring is the perfect time to shed old habits and create fresh, new ones. Make a list of all the things you’d like to start over or anew and meditate on them. You can have an intention setting session; meditate on intending to spend more time outdoors this year, or to take “x” amount of steps a day.  Have a things-to-look-forward-to session, such as getting the family together for a long-overdue reunion or a move to a new city.

Goal setting

Use a goal you have as part of a focal point meditation; for example, if a goal of yours this Spring is to plant certain flowers or vegetables, use a picture of said flower or vegetable as a focal point and a bit of inspiration. Maybe, a picture of a beach and a cruise ship if your goal is to finally take a vacation this year. I, myself, have decided that this is the year that I start my organic garden.

 In whichever way suits your lifestyle, take advantage of the fresh start you’ve been given this Spring.

Love nature, and love yourself!
