Do you remember how much fun you used to have each spring? You’d get a break from school whether it was elementary or university to simply be. You’d get nine full days off to do as you pleased. Now, you’ve got work and much more responsibility. How about taking back some of your enjoyment of spring anyway?
Here are 5 ways to relish in the season of spring:
1. Get Outside.
The flowers are blooming. The birds are singing. It’s a wonderful time to be alive, and nature is celebrating. Go outside – out of your home, out of your office, out of your car – and take in all the beauty around you.
A picture-perfect place to get outside in San Diego is The Flower Fields. It holds more than 50 acres of blooming flowers overlooking the ocean.
2. Join a yoga or meditation class.
Spring is a time of new beginnings, and a time to re-center yourself. Learn how to breath and relax and simply be. Joining a yoga or mediation class forces you to set aside time for yourself.
In San Diego, dozens of yoga and meditation centers are ready to help you.
3. Enjoy Friends.
Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood with your neighbor, a play date with other families in the park or a long phone call with an old friend, take time this spring to enjoy the company of friends. The evenings are warming up for BBQs and dinner parties.
4. Clear the Clutter.
Since it is a time of new beginnings, clear the clutter in your life. Getting rid of clutter will attract new things into your life. And if spring cleaning sounds too exhausting, hire someone to do it for you.
5. Read a Good Book.
Put down the self-help book. Don’t even think about reading that management and leadership book. Instead allow yourself to devour a light, entertaining story for only enjoyment purposes. What silly title or guilty pleasure have you had your eye on? Don’t add it to the bottom of the list; read it this spring.
Pick one of these ways to take back your Spring Break. Relish in the time of year. And make time for yourself.
