Spring Into Growth

Spring is a time of renewal and growth. What previously seemed dead now springs to life. Things begin to grow and bloom. This is also true about our change process. Even when we feel stagnant, we can return to a time of growth. We can restart working towards our goals and nourishing our spirits. Here are some tips to renew your process of growth this month.

  1. Check in on goals. We often are motivated in January for new goals, but can slow down momentum as the year continues. Use Spring to revisit your goals, revise as needed and renew your motivation.

  2. Get into nature. Spend time enjoying the beauty of nature and seeking peace. Our busy lives often move us away from stillness. Taking a time out in nature allow us to get into a more peaceful and present experience.

  3. Nourish yourself spiritually and emotionally. Meditation and prayer are great tools to reconnect with your spirit and check in with yourself emotionally. 

  4. Focus on gratitude. We often look at what we don’t have, and focus on comparing ourselves to those around us. Instead, try focusing on a gratitude practice. Name 3 things daily that you are grateful for to shift your perspective.


What are your favorite practices during the Spring months to feel refreshed and renewed?


I hope you find these tools helpful to use this Spring as a time of growth and renewal!
