Let’s be honest—New Year’s resolutions feel like a lifetime ago. If you didn’t stick with yours (or never made any), don’t worry. Spring is actually one of the best times to reset your health and wellness routine.
The longer days, warmer weather, and sense of renewal make it easier to build healthy habits—without the pressure that comes with January 1st. Let May be your fresh start.
1. Use the Extra Daylight to Boost Your Mood and Energy
Longer daylight hours can do wonders for your well-being. Natural sunlight:
- Helps regulate sleep cycles
- Supports vitamin D production
- Lifts your mood and boosts motivation
Try this: Get 10–15 minutes of morning sun each day. It’s a simple way to improve sleep, focus, and even reduce stress.
2. Lighten Up Your Meals with Seasonal Produce
Spring is the perfect time to swap out heavier comfort foods for lighter, fresher options. Seasonal fruits and vegetables are packed with nutrients that support:
- Digestion
- Immune health
- Natural detoxification
What to eat this month: Leafy greens, strawberries, asparagus, radishes, peas, and citrus fruits.
Try this: Add one seasonal veggie to each meal this week—you’ll feel the difference.
3. Create Small Routines That Ground You
Spring schedules can get hectic—school events, travel, and everything in between. Creating simple, consistent routines can help you stay centered and calm.
It doesn’t have to be elaborate. Think:
- A five-minute stretch in the morning
- Taking your supplements at the same time each day
- Drinking a glass of water before coffee
Try this: Pick one small routine that supports your body, and make it a non-negotiable part of your day.
4. Do a Mental Reset—Not Just a Physical One
Spring cleaning isn’t just for your closet. It’s also a good time to declutter your thoughts and let go of stress that’s been building up over the winter.
- Reflect on what’s been draining your energy
- Let go of unrealistic goals or negative self-talk
- Make space for things that make you feel good
Try this: Write down one thing you’re ready to release, and one habit or mindset you’d like to welcome in.
5. Set Goals That Fit Your Life (Not Someone Else’s)
Instead of rigid health rules, think in terms of what works for you. Start small, stay flexible, and build consistency over perfection.
- Want to move more? Start with a 10-minute walk.
- Need to support your joints or energy levels? Try adding a supplement designed to help.
- Looking to feel better overall? Pick one habit and build from there.
Try this: Choose one health goal for May—keep it simple, realistic, and focused on how you want to feel.
May gives us a fresh chance to show up for our health—with more light, more energy, and a gentler approach. Whether you're revamping your routine or just making one small change, spring is the perfect time to reset.
Keep it simple. Stay consistent. And give yourself permission to start again—this time, with ease.
