7 Fresh Wellness Habits for Your Spring Routine
The Spring Solstice marks the official start of the season and it’s the perfect time for a little refresh, renew, and reset. The longer days and brighter evenings naturally create a shift towards feeling lighter, more energised. But why not take it a step further? The change of the seasons is a wonderful opportunity to introduce new wellness habits into your spring routine. Think gentle, nourishing changes that help you feel your best, inside and out. Here are some of our wellness habits we're starting to incorporate to our spring routine.
1. Wake with the sun
With the days getting longer and brighter, it’s the perfect time to align your sleep routine with nature’s rhythm. Waking up with the sun allows your body to absorb natural light early in the day, which helps regulate your circadian rhythm and boosts mood-boosting serotonin levels.
Wellness Tip:
Try to get outside within the first hour of waking. Even just a quick 10-minute walk will help your body clock stay in tune and leave you feeling more refreshed and energised for the day ahead. You could even take the kids if that works for you!
2. Hydrate for energy & THAT glow
Staying properly hydrated helps with energy levels, digestion, and skin health. We remind you about the importance of staying hydrated all year round, but with the seasonal change and warmer (hopefully) temperatures, it's even more important to be sipping on your water.
💡 Wellness Tip:
Aim for 1.5–2 litres of water a day. You can add a splash of flavour with citrus fruits, cucumber, or mint for extra refreshment (and to make it less boring). After treatments, hydration is even more essential to flush out toxins released during your session.
3. Move your body outdoors
If you're based in Aberdeenshire like us, you'll know, when the snow finally melts and the sun comes out... it's time to take advantage! Spring is the ideal season to take your exercise outdoors. Whether it’s morning yoga in the garden, brisk walks, or a gentle evening stretch, moving your body in the fresh air is a wonderful way to boost energy and mental clarity.
💡 Wellness Tip:
If you’re dealing with any stiffness or muscle tension, have you thought about adding regular sports massage to your routine? A sports massage will help ease muscle tightness, improve mobility, and keep your body in tip-top condition so you can enjoy all your outdoor activities.
4. Take time to recover
Spring is the time for getting outside and most likely more outdoor activity so don’t forget the importance of resting and taking time to recover from the week. Recovery is just as important as movement, whether that’s through regular massage, reflexology, gentle stretching, or simply taking a timeout to find your calm again.
💡 Wellness Tip:
Consider trying a reflexology or massage appointment to find your calm. It'll help you to slow down, remove stress and tension and give you the time you deserve to let your mind and body recover from the week's activities.
5. Add seasonal foods to your meals
Let's switch up the warm and comforting meals for some alternative seasonal, nutrient-rich foods on your plate. Think leafy greens, fresh herbs, berries, and spring vegetables. These are packed with those all-important vitamins and antioxidants to boost your energy, support immunity, and give your skin a radiant glow.
💡 Wellness Tip:
Try batch-cooking some simple, healthy meals with spring veggies like asparagus, spinach, and courgette. Adding fresh herbs like parsley, basil, or mint not only boosts flavour but also supports digestion and reduces inflammation.
6. Slow down
Spring is a season of growth and renewal, but that doesn’t mean you need to be constantly on the go. In fact, it’s the perfect time to pause and reflect. Prioritise moments of calm, whether it’s a few minutes of breathwork, meditation, or simply sitting with a warm cup of tea. We know how tricky it can be, especially if you have little ones to look after and keep everything running smoothly at home. But, find even a little bit of time each week to slow down and check in with yourself. It'll make a world of difference to your mental wellbeing.
💡 Wellness Tip:
If you’ve been feeling stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed, reflexology is a beautiful way to reset and support your mental health. It activates your parasympathetic nervous system, encouraging deep relaxation and calm and helps emotional balance.
