Spring is finally here! It’s one of my favorite times of year because it is when the snow melts and the weather starts to get warmer!
Everyone starts to clean their houses and really get a fresh start.
It’s also a great time for some self-care! If you’re looking for a mood booster here are some self-care ideas for Spring!
Why is Self Care important?
Let’s first talk about why self-care is so important, especially after wintertime.
If you’re like me, the winter months can really affect your mood.
It can be something as serious as seasonal depression, or just feeling unproductive.
I’m the type of person that thrives in the warmth and the sunshine.
So, the darker days and colder months really affect my productivity and general happiness.
That’s why self-care is so important during the springtime to bring back productivity and happiness!
Self-care is just generally important as well. You probably have heard the saying “You can’t pour from an empty cup.”
Meaning, if you’re the type of person that tends to give, give, give to other people…
Always helping them out, dropping what you are doing to make sure others are okay, and saying yes to things you want to say no to, you are pouring too much of yourself into others.
Eventually, that cup will run dry. And you can’t pour from an empty cup.
So, you need to take care of yourself first, before anyone else.
And in doing so, you’ll have more to give to other people as well. That’s why self-care is important and so, so needed!

loved this post! i’ve been really focusing on self care lately. And the spring time is where I start to really thrive. The winter season really hit my mood more than ever. And I’m really excited to get the house more in order / cleaned. I hope to get outdoors more often & take up some active hobbies like yoga.

Thank you! I feel the same way about the winter. I thrive in the summer and hibernate in the winter! I’ve been doing yoga for a bit now and I love it! Highly recommend trying it out 🙂
