There are little things you can do to make your day to day routine special. Make the “normal” extraordinary.

Connect with nature.

When the weather is pretty, it feels good to go outside and spend time in nature. There are so many ways to do this, depending on where you live. Take a weekly hike, eat dinner on your patio or put a blanket down at a nearby park and read a book. Take your exercise outside. It doesn’t matter what you do, spending time in nature will help you feel more relaxed and energized. Enjoy the sunshine on your face, soak up some vitamin D and savor the smell of spring flowers.

Don’t just clean your home, think about other ways to celebrate the arrival of springtime. Take this opportunity to make positive changes in your life that bring you happiness. You can freshen up your home and your life.

Find meaning each day,
