I took the image of these beautiful snowdrops last week in my parents’ garden. By taking that photo, I realised the Spring has finally arrived. I don’t know about you, but to me, Spring always means new beginnings. It is the season of rebirth, regrowth and a renewal. Everything is waking up, everything blooms. The warm rays of sunlight caressing our faces, can feel like a gentle kisses of nature that are waking us up from a long sleep. People start gardening and spending more time outdoors in the parks and going on hikes. Spring is definitely one of my favourite seasons, and it always inspires my music, writing and all of my other creations. Would you like to invite the freshness of the Spring season into your daily life too? There are few things you can start doing right now:
1) Spring cleaning
Let go of the old and bring in the new. Clean out your closets and donate things you don’t need anymore to charity. Do whatever it takes to tidy up and to clean your house. Bring in some fresh plants and flowers. They always brighten up and awaken any environment. Make your place look picturesque. Every time I clean up my flat, I have a fresher perspective on life in general. It works like magic. It feels like I’ve done some Spring cleaning of my mind too. My perspective changes. I focus more on the good and I see opportunities instead of obstacles. My vision gets clearer and my soul feels purified.
2) Spend more time in nature
What’s great about Spring, is that more people start spending time outdoors. Nature is a natural healer and a story teller. I get outdoors in every opportunity I get. When I’m in nature, I feel more alive and more at peace with myself and the world around me. I breathe deeply, I hug trees and observe the beauty that surrounds me. I engage all my senses to the moment of here and now. The moments spent in nature are priceless.
3) Start something new
Now, that you have cleaned your house, cleared your mind and you are energised by the powers of nature, start something new. Start something you wanted to do for a long time, but never had the courage to do. Why not? What’s stopping you? Take that first step today, and it does not matter how small that step might be. Just do it. The Spring is here ~the seasons of new beginnings. Everything is waking up, everything is blooming. Wake up and start blooming too.
