Spring has finally arrived (well the date anyhow, we are waiting for the weather to catch up) and this is a time of shedding layers. Winter tends to be a time where we accumulate and spring provides the light and energy to focus on refining and losing the things we don?t need. Here is a small list of ways in which we can do this over the next few weeks:
Diet: Trade in your heavier foods such as starches and unhealthy fats for lighter meals: salads, lightly roasted veggies and juices/smoothies. Instead of big meals try eating more often with lighter fare. And most importantly, stay away from refined sugars to let the body wean off any sugar addiction. Lightening up the foods we eat will put an extra spring in your step!
Relationships: I think this is an area that we are ruled by fear. We are very scared of letting people go in our lives even if the relationship is in a toxic state. Fear stems from adolescence and the worries about gossip, isolation and popularity. We need to recognize that we are imprisoned by a toxic relationship-and freedom is the only solution. It?s taken me a long time to realize that it?s not about who is right or who is causing the conflict-that actually doesn?t matter. It?s the fact that the relationship isn?t working. My suggestion is to take inventory of relationships that make you feel stressed or hurt, and try to walk away from them in peace.
Belongings: Time to clean out the closets. We put this off because it takes a lot of time and when we begin we usually realize there is more work than we thought. But the reward is well worth the wait. Be ruthless with your things: clothes, shoes, kitchen items, towels, sheets, books, papers etc. You can recycle, consign and donate your way to happiness.
Toxins: Spring weather allows for more outdoors activity. Try spending more time getting your exercise outdoors, running, gardening and cycling. Sweat those Christmas toxins out!
Brain: Winter can bring a lot of time watching TV or using our computers. The brain gets heavy with overstimulation through advertisements and internet surfing. Giving a little brain detox by setting time limits on computer work and tv watching will give your brain a little lift. Try meditating or picking up a book.
I hope spring brings a little light to your life!
