3. Speaking of activities, go outside! Swim, hike, bike, skate, whatever! Being active makes you feel good, look good, and stay healthy.
4. Clean up your cleaning routine. Go through your household cleaning products and get rid of the ones with harmful chemicals and carcinogens. They’re bad for you and the environment. Check out The Daily Green for some green cleaning how-to’s using products that you already have around the house.
5. Declutter. That goes for your closet, your desk, your inbox, your makeup bag, and your head! Get organized, and throw away or donate all of the excess knick-knacks that you haven’t used in ages. When you have a clean space, then you can clear your head. Check in with yourself. What are the sources of your stresses and anxieties? Try to rid yourself of mental baggage, and make it a habit to meditate frequently. Here are some tips to get you started.
Following these tips will have you feeling like a ray of sunshine!
Happy Spring!
