As the weather goes from freezing to warm and we start to come out of hibernation, most of us do a spring clean of our homes. For some of us, we use this time to start getting ready for Christmas and a fresh new year. But before we can start this preparation, let’s take a moment to think of our wellness and add it to your Spring Clean list.
Here are my top tips for a Wellness Spring Clean:
– Step outside and smell the flowers. it’s such a beautiful time of year when everything is starting to bloom, we are so lucky in Toowoomba to have access to so much beautiful nature and the bonus you get some extra Vitamin D.
– Stay hydrated. Keeping hydrated has been linked to faster decision making and improved performance. If you find water boring, you could buy a fun water bottle or add some fruit slices into the water. As you drink the smell, hit your nose and it is said to trick your taste buds into tasting what you smell.
– Eat well. We are so lucky to live in a place with access to fresh locally grown produce. Plan ahead and pack your lunch with all things good. Have your snacks ready, especially when the 3pm slump hits.
– Move your body. Taking a walk around your local area will also cover tip one but if you’re looking for something a bit more challenging, why not join a local fitness challenge or sign up with a local personal trainer.
If you’ve made it this far through the wellness spring clean then you deserve to treat yourself. Buy that bag, book that holiday, go to your favourite restaurant. You’ve earned it and deserve to have time out!
Now you can lie back, enjoy the summer heat in a freshly Spring cleaned mind and body.
