How to Fall in Love With the Life You Live This Spring

Hey beautiful, happy spring. Let’s make this next season of your life a good one.

It’s a new season, so these next few weeks will be full of changes beyond our control as the Earth shifts from being cold and dead to colorful and full of life again. The pace of life sort of shifts too as school gets out, the sun sets later, and life happens outdoors more.

It’s a new season for the Earth, and it’s a new season of your life too. You have the power to make it a good one.

(Gently) Push Yourself Outside Your Comfort Zone

This spring, cross items off your bucket list, try new things, and learn a thing or two about yourself and the world around you.

Wear outfits you wouldn’t normally wear, but you sort of want to. Try that hobby you’ve always said you would try. Pick out a song you really like and dive into that genre or artist- you might find some music you really like. Talk to new people, try out new restaurants, and explore new places.

Push the limits of your comfort zone and you will grow and fall in love with new aspects of life.

Be Outside as Much as You Possibly Can

Take hikes instead of going to the gym and do your homework outside instead of at a desk. Walk instead of driving when you can. Slow down to watch the sunset, the clouds move, and the trees blow in the wind instead of watching TV.

Think about the things you do in your day-to-day life- the things that bring you joy and the things you have to do. Find ways to shift these things outdoors. If you like coloring or reading, lay out a blanket in the grass and sunbathe while you do it.

You will end up spending way more of your time outside, and you’re still doing all the things you normally do.

Take Care of Yourself

Get plenty of sunshine, move your body in a way you love outdoors, be kind to yourself, and chase positive energy and feelings.

Take care of your mind, body, and spirit in everything you do, but also set aside time specifically for it too. Every day, make time to do something for the sole purpose of making yourself happy.

Fill Your Life With Flowers

The transition from winter to spring is so wildly beautiful to witness. The ground that was covered in dead grass and snow suddenly has flowers growing from it. Let yourself feel alive and refreshed with the Earth as flowers bloom and the world comes back to life.

Have a vase of flowers in your home as often as possible, look for wildflowers every time you go out, and give flowers to the people in your life.

Dancing around with your best friend while wearing flowers in your hair is never a bad idea. Drawing or painting flowers is a guarantee to brighten up your day.

Give Yourself the Freedom to be Creative

Let yourself express the creativity that exists inside of you.

Set time aside for creative activities like coloring and painting, but also give yourself the freedom to be creative in everything you do in the day-to-day. From the colors and setup of your bedroom to the way you dress and move about your day- have fun with it and let your mind be free.

Make getting dressed in the morning a genuinely fun activity by picking out fun outfits that make you feel good in your own body and show off your personality. Make your room a reflection of your beautiful mind. Be creative in the mundane by drawing in the margins while you take notes.

As you move through your day, relax and feel the flow of life throughout your body. Treat your life like the beautiful work of art that it is.

Express Yourself in the Things You Do

From the way you dress to the ways you spend your hours of the day, do it all in a way that expresses who you are.

Stop for a minute and think back on yesterday. From the things you spent your time on to the clothes you chose to wear- do you think all of that was a reflection of you, the life you want to live, and the beautiful ways your mind works?

Ask yourself:

• How much of your day was spent doing the things that make you love being alive?
• Do you remember the sweet little moments like that first sip of coffee in the morning, the moment you saw your favorite people that day, or what the sunset looked like?
• Did the clothes you wore make you feel happy to exist in your body, or did you feel like a hippie stuck in slacks?

This spring, make it a goal to live in a way that expresses who you are and what you dream of. Don’t just coast through life, fill it with happy things and find happiness in every tiny piece of life Fill up your free time with things that make you happy, find things you love all around you, and wear the clothes you really want.

It’s your life, so live it how you want to.

Spend Intentional Time With Nature

Stop to stare at the trees, watch the different stages of the sky throughout the day, lay in the grass, step outside or at least open your window as soon as you wake up, sit by the water, and never stop appreciating the flowers growing from the Earth.

This Spring Will be a Good One, I Promise.

This season will be as good as you make it, and you can make it really, really good.

Give your mind new happy memories to look back on and give yourself permission to GROW. Learn new skills, embrace change as it rolls by, and experience as much life as you can.
