It’s April and spring is upon us. For some, we have the opportunity to see nature literally wake up before our eyes. The science of spring has proven to increase our mood, well-being, and energy. Simply taking time to observe the beautiful changes can allow us to be more present, grounded, and connected. Create space- even if just for a moment- to take it all in and breathe; be still from the work of life and breathe.   

Let the transforming landscape also serve as a reminder that everything, and everyone, requires a reset, a renewal of sorts. Because sometimes, as days, weeks, and months go by, we panic about all the things we planned at the beginning of the year that we have yet to complete and, in some cases, start. Or, we may be so focused on what we determined at the beginning of the year that we don’t see or consider new opportunities. Whatever our situation, every day we wake up with breath in our lungs, we can and should take advantage of the restart.

 So, let’s break it down like this: April is the first month of the year’s second quarter. Technically, that’s a new beginning, right? Make this season of your life about starting fresh. Reflect on how you started the year. Make sure to celebrate the big and small wins [be grateful]; acknowledge any losses and don’t dwell there [honor wholeness and truth]; pivot as necessary [plan + be in the moment]; and keep moving forward [take action, every day]. 

Grant yourself grace to intentionally reset, recalibrate to center, and truly bloom in this season, fully walking out the life for which you were created. Are you with me?
