Spring Forwards! xxx

Spring ~

Spring is a time when new life begins again. Blossoms appear on the trees, daffodils emerge - that instant shine of yellow, dotted about the countryside, is a positive reminder that Spring is nearing.

I think, as Spring is all about new life and starting again...it's an excellent opportunity for us to begin a new chapter of our own.

We can dust off the cobwebs from Winter and spring clean our minds for a fresh beginning. As the daylight lasts longer in the evenings, and the sky is lovely shades of blue ...there is a very uplifting transformation happening right before our eyes...almost encouraging us to follow suit...and do the same!

I thought I would share a few helpful hints to keep you in good spirits as this beautiful season unfolds...

* Re-evaluate *

After a long winter of heavy rainfall, cloudy days, darker evenings and mornings - many of us find our energy and mindset a little more forlorn and lacking in positivity. Spring can be a wonderful chance to awaken all that makes us special, and remember what matters to us, what we are aiming for, what we would like to happen, and how we're going to get there! One step at a time, take your hopes, dreams and fears out of the drawer where you've safely locked them away - and simply admire them. See what you gravitate towards and what ignites light within you - now is the time to make some changes and make your happiness a priority - careful planning, and deep thinking about what you could to do to get your dreams out of the drawer and into your reality, will be the start of your new chapter.

* Be True To You *

It is always important to be entirely true to yourself, as you venture through your own journey. Being true to your values, your ideals and the way in which you do the things which concrete who you are, all bring a sense of peace and self acceptance ... which encourages confidence. Think about all the areas in your life...and make sure each area is bringing you that reassurance and self esteem that you are good enough just as you are. This will no doubt encourage some changes...but by filtering out unhealthy habits, situations and dare I say people - will only serve to make you feel better and sincerely true to yourself.

* Re-invent yourself *

Following on from being true to you - Spring provides a wonderful opportunity to try new things and give yourself a chance to be brave and experiment with moving out of your comfort zones. Let go of old unhealthy habits, and foster those 'feel good' emotions. A new hairstyle, new job, taking up a new hobby, meeting new like-minded people - new dreams....start afresh at something....adding something new and worthwhile to your life is a perfect way to re-invent a healthy, happy new you. Even simply wearing a favourite item of clothing. Changing your routine and setting new goals will all give a spring in your step! Whatever feels right - reach for it.

" Dreams "

from Peter Pan 

...' We put them in a drawer, and late at night we take them out to admire them ... but it gets harder and harder to close the drawer' .....

A beautiful sentiment.... but do strive to keep your dreams out in the fresh air of Spring. Give them a chance to become your reality and start a new chapter Xxx

Everyone deserves to be happy ...
