Spring is officially here, and that means longer days and warmer nights are here to stay. The winter season offers some unique opportunities here in Minnesota, but it can also present some challenges for our mental and physical health. It’s not uncommon to feel gloomy or SAD during the dark winter months, so if you’re looking for a way to rejuvenate your health now that spring is here, we’ve got the cure for you. In today’s blog, we share some tips for boosting your health as spring arrives.
Spring Rejuvenation For Your Health
If the spring weather hasn’t been enough to put a little extra pep in your step, here are some things you can do to boost your physical and mental health this season.
- Get Outdoors – Get outside and enjoy the fresh air. The temperatures are getting warmer and the sun is setting later each night, so take advantage of these opportunities to spend more time outside. Taking your exercise regimen outdoors and taking in the sounds of nature can do wonders for your mental and physical health. Just be sure to carry your inhaler or your Epi-pen if there are potential issues with spring allergies.
- Get Involved In An Activity – The springtime also generally means that there are more activities and classes getting underway. Take a class or sign up for a new activity through your city’s recreation department. Bonus points if the activity keeps you physically moving. Take a beginner’s yoga class with a friend, swim laps during open swim at the pool or simply resolve to step out of your comfort zone and challenge your brain and your body with a new activity this spring.
- Re-Evaluate Your Diet – If your New Year’s resolutions have fallen by the wayside, you’re not alone. However, the spring season is a great time to re-evaluate your diet and commit to healthier eating habits. You’ll find that you will have more energy to get through the day or to pursue exercise if you have improved eating habits, so take advantage of what spring has to offer when it comes to food choices. Local farmer’s markets can make it easier to shop small and still have access to healthy options, or you can simply strive to become better at meal planning this spring. Start with small changes to your diet so that they are more likely to stick long term.
- Set A Long-Term Health-Related Goal – Many people find that it’s easier to stay motivated with exercise or diet improvements if they are working towards a long-term goal, so consider setting a goal that you hope to achieve by the end of summer or before year’s end. Strive to train for your first marathon, to shed 30 pounds or to bike 400 miles this year. Set a tangible, trackable and achievable goal, and take the first steps towards achieving it. Working towards long-term goals can be great for mental and physical health.
