Happy Spring Equinox
March 20th marks the equinox and the first day of Spring. The balance of light and dark help stir our anticipation for warmer days and sunshine, restoring our energy. Although the freeze from winter may still be present, trees are beginning to bud, early spring flowers are growing and now is the time to prepare your home and heart for the brighter and more active months ahead. A deep clean and organization creates space for new projects and summer get togethers. It’s also a good time to do a gentle detox to help shed the heaviness of winter - think whole foods, lots of fiber and lean protein.
The Spring Equinox represents an energetic on-switch where we begin to find excitement and momentum after the long winter days of hibernation — set intentions that involve fresh opportunities. What new things would you like to focus on this year?!
I have certainly felt the excitement and momentum of this time of year! My word for this year is “simplify”- so I am focusing on simplifying where I can (getting rid of things we don’t need, maintaining healthy boundaries, reducing work hours, etc) so that I have more energy for the things that bring us most joy (time together, playing outside, going on adventures) and more intentional time for building habits in my wellness journey.
