Spring cleaning for the soul! As everything starts to bloom again, we are reminded of how good an energetic reset can be. Now is the time when you should be able to thrive in the true sense of the word and pay extra attention to your well-being. How can you do that? By dispelling negative feelings, boosting your diet with fresh fruit and vegetables, making your everyday routine more sustainable, trying out new activities or simply enjoying the here and now. Ready for a spring with a better perspective on life?

 

  1.  Avoid negative thoughts and feelings

    Are you feeling stressed about an argument with your best friend? Are you frustrated in your job and always on edge in the mornings? If these negative feelings sound familiar, spring is the time to     do something about them. For a better perspective on life, it is important to identify the cause. How about writing down your thoughts and try to talk about what’s on your mind. This is the best basis for a reset in spring.
  2. Add more colour to your diet

    Nature is finally waking up and is whetting our appetite for something fresh! This is the time of year to add more colour to your plate. Plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, herbs, seeds and spices will rouse you from hibernation and benefit you, body and soul. Tip: Our Dole recipes are also perfect for when you are out and about. Give them a     go, and combine therapeutic spring activities with energy-boosting pleasure! For a better perspective on life this spring, make sure you try our     pineapple and grapefruit bowl, courgette and blueberry salad or raspberry smoothie with algae.
  3. Embrace sustainability

    Do you read blogs and follow social media accounts that focus on sustainability but feel that you aren’t really that sustainable yourself in your everyday life? Perhaps you are aiming too high. It is fantastic, of course, if you are more environmentally aware in as many aspects of your life as possible. But you can also make a big difference with small     changes and start again in spring. Where possible, buy unpackaged food; switch off electronic devices at home; make your own cleaning materials and beauty products; or repair things rather than buying new. We have put together some useful ideas for you on how you can reduce food waste     here.
  4. Take up an exercise that you really like

    Do you follow popular fitness influencers but would     actually prefer to go hiking? Do your friends try to persuade you to go climbing even though you love yoga? Then start listening to your heart when it comes to exercise, and find your own way! Long-term exercise is important for a better perspective on life. And of course you need to enjoy whatever it is that you choose in order to keep doing it. So, rather than simply following the latest fitness trends, stay true to yourself and your interests. Tip: You are sure to find like-minded people nearby. Together you will be all the more motivated to tackle your springtime exercise.
  5. Live in the here and now

    Perhaps you are one of those people who is constantly mulling over things that happened in the past or who is fearful about the future. To gain a better perspective on life this spring, don’t lose sight of the present moment. Focus on today, as life is happening right NOW. This is     definitely a process, but it’s worth it. Meditation can also help you to feel more content in the here and now. Be inspired by our     mindfulness tips for spring.

 

Spring is in the air!
