Five Reasons To Fall In Love With Spring
While every season is unique and special in its own way, there's something undeniably inspiring, uplifting and romantic about spring. In the Northern Hemisphere, winter officially wraps up on 20 March and springtime lingers until 21 June.
The season of spring ushers in many changes that can have a positive impact on your health, wellbeing and general outlook. Here are 5 reasons why it's also the best time to fall in love with life...
1. Welcome Sunny Days
During the Vernal equinox, the seasons transition from dark winter into lighter and brighter spring. When the sun moves north across the equator, you can expect days to be sunnier, warmer and longer. As nature wakes up from its slumber during the coldest months of the year, the landscape once again looks lush and verdant, with vibrant flowers everywhere.
As most of our vitamin D intake naturally comes from exposure to the sun, sunny days are beneficial in helping to regulate the body's quota of healthy teeth and bone promoting calcium and phosphate. On a sunny spring day, you're also likely to feel more inspired to get outside and enjoy activities that make you feel energised.
Go for a spring hike in nature, and admire the breathtaking scenery. Hop on your bike and explore local beauty spots. Kick-start a new hobby, like gardening, kite flying, or bird watching. Or enjoy sunny day fun activities with the kids.
2. Celebrate Rebirth & Renewal
Spring is the season that celebrates new growth and new beginnings. In nature, it's the time when plants and trees spring back to life, and animals emerge from hibernation and deliver adorable offspring.
This cycle of change is associated with rebirth and renewal that's not solely reserved for nature. Spring is the perfect time for humans to shed old habits, limiting beliefs and patterns of behaviour, and to adopt positive lifestyle changes. It's a great time to reinvent yourself, and to commit to following your dreams and passions.
Take a nature walk and reflect on yourself, and the changes that you want to make in your life. Meditate and visualise yourself planting your wishes and achieving your goals.
The ritual of spring cleaning your home removes stagnant energy and encourages the positive flow that is crucial for LOA manifestation success. Clear away clutter and open the windows to air out your space. Cleanse and charge your crystals, and create a beautiful altar that honours the abundance of spring.
3. Love Is In The Air
The pineal gland, which makes sleep inducing melatonin, is overly active during the winter months. On sunnier days, the pineal gland slows down the production of melatonin, making you feel like you've regained a spring in your step.
The decline in melatonin impacts on hormone levels in the pituitary gland that can make you feel sexier. The sights, sounds and smells of spring can also awaken your senses and boost your dopamine system to stimulate your brain, mood and libido, and inspire you to fall in love.
Spring is a great time to take full advantage of the love that's in the air, and to consult with an experienced psychic reader. A psychic reading can provide valuable insights about your love life and romantic possibilities.
4. Tap Into Flower Power
Symbolic of beauty, fertility and love, beautiful flowers are in full bloom in the springtime. You can enjoy an instant pick-me-up by admiring stunning wildflowers in nature, tending to your garden or treating yourself to a colourful bunch of fresh, fragrant flowers. Gorgeous blossoms can have a positive impact on your emotions - reducing feelings of sadness or depression, and increasing compassion and kindness.
Placing a vase filled with your favourite yellow, pink, lilac, white and blue spring flowers in your home can energise you, increase your memory, creativity and productivity, and enhance your emotional connections with others.
5. Enjoy Happy Vibes
When you wake up in the morning to the sound of birds merrily chirping outside your window, your mood is instantly uplifted and you feel ready for anything. Happy vibes are everywhere in the spring, but it's important to be present in the moment if you want to enjoy the wellbeing benefits that they bring.
When the sun is shining, everyone seems happier. There are less things to complain about when you feel the warmth of the sun on your face, so embrace the happy vibes and spread a little cheer all around you.
Pack a picnic and spend quality time outdoors with loved ones. Channel your feel good energy into spontaneous random acts of kindness that benefit strangers. Lend a hand in your community, and spread happiness helping others that are less fortunate than you. The more happy vibes that you freely give out the greater the feeling of inner peace, love and harmony that you'll experience in the spring.
