"Spring Fever" isn't just a figure of speech. It's the body's physiological and psychological response to the changing seasons.
"An optimist is the human personification of spring" -Susan J. Bissonette
Take advantage of the increase in energy you experience at this time:
1. Try new wellness practices. Meditation and QiGong are great ways to begin your Spring transition.
2. Make a fresh start to the season by organizing and cleaning out your living spaces. Remember that one's physical environment impacts one's state of mind.
3. Notice the breath of new life coming out in nature. Take a brisk walk as a supplement to your yoga or Pilates practice.
4. Start letting that Vitamin-D-rich sunlight seep in. Vitamin-D aids in the absorption of calcium, helping to form and maintain strong bones. Research also suggests Vitamin-D can provide protection from osteoporosis, hypertension, cancer, and several autoimmune diseases.
Learning to love YOU is the starting point for all future development.
"You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserves your love and affection." –Buddha
Self-love allows you to be gentle with yourself and understand that you are perfect in the eyes of the Universe, just as you are. This in turn, allows you to grow and welcome the wellbeing and abundance that is waiting to flow into your life.
This month, focus your intention on showing yourself love in the following ways:
1. Treat yourself the way you would treat a friend or a lover.
2. Have compassion for yourself. Forgive yourself for all that you "perceive" you have done wrong.
3. Practice self-massage between your regular appointments.
4.Take a walk as a supplement to your yoga and Pilates classes. It is both meditative and good for your cardiovascular system.
5. Take time for yourself...read a book, take a bath, get a facial...anything that helps you recharge.
