Well here are, reunited with my good friend Spring. I love the spring months and all they bring; they are a welcome sight after the dark months of winter.
The beginning of a new season is the perfect time to change up your self care routine. This is especially the case with Spring, as it is a season which embodies the ideas of new beginnings and growth. If you're not clued up with what I mean by self care, it is simply the things you do as part of your lifestyle to maintain and improve your mental health and wellbeing; the ways you take care of yourself.
Here are twenty ideas for self care practices you can add to your routine in Spring:

Here are twenty ideas for self care practices you can add to your routine in Spring:
1. Create a playlist of upbeat music to motivate you through the season.
2. Take yourself out for a walk in nature. You could take photos of some of the beautiful spring flowers or just use the walk as a chance to think deeply.
3. Change your bed sheets for something clean, light and spring-themed. I'm a sucker for a good floral duvet cover!
4. Make a fresh fruit smoothie or juice.
5. Book in a yoga session.
6. Write a gratitude list. The regular practise of gratitude can foster positivity in your life. I share my weekly Wednesday gratitude lists on my instagram (yourschloex) if you fancy a peek.
7. Sit outside and do some mindfulness colouring.
8. Give your home a little spring clean. A clean space is a clean mind.
9. Unplug and have a digital detox day.
10. Buy yourself some flowers or a new plant to brighten up your living space.
11. Cook a nourishing meal from scratch.
12. Do something creative. Craft projects can work wonderfully at calming the mind.
13. Wake up early and let yourself have a slow morning.
14. Drink lots of water. It's a simplistic practise but an important one.
15. Diffuse some essential oils. Lavender and citrus aromas such as lemon and grapefruit are perfect for the spring months.
16. Listen to a new self-development or wellness podcast. I shared five of my current favourites in a post back in November, you can read it here.
17. Create a vision board.
18. Read a book, be it an old favourite or something from your to-read list. I love a good romance novel in the spring months.
19. Sit outside for a while, listen to the birdsong and practise some deep breathing.
20. Open up your windows and air out your home.
How do you practise self care in the spring months?
