What is it about spring that gives us that burst of extra energy and focus to become physically fit, take action and create change? Is it the longer days, flowers blooming, warm air? Spring is the season of rejuvenation and renewal. Spring is a good time to let go of the old and bring in the new. You can apply this to gardening, routine habits, traditional cleaning, organizing and achieving inner peace and happiness.
The 2021 Easter holiday may especially bring a sense of rejuvenation and renewal compared to a year ago, when most of us could not see our families or friends. As for all holidays, it is good to stay mindful and balanced when planning menus and activities.
