Spring Cleaning Your Mindset

Written by CBIZ

Spring isn’t just for cleaning out your closet. It’s also a great time to refresh your mind. It’s

important to check in on yourself regularly; a routine refresh can help you reduce stress and feel in control.

Consider the following tips to freshen up your daily routine and promote a healthy mindset this spring:

Declutter your space. A cluttered home or working environment can cause stress and anxiety, so a purge of items could help clear your mind and improve your mood.

Let go of negative thinking patterns. Letting go of negative thoughts or beliefs can help make space for healthier ideas and behaviors.

Practice gratitude. To change your perspective for the better, consider ways to be intentional about choosing a positive outlook. For example, you could start a gratitude journal or meditate.

Make time for hobbies. Just like you’d honor a work meeting or personal appointment, participate in activities and hobbies that fulfill you and bring joy.

Spend time outdoors. Spring is a great time to reconnect with nature. You could try walking around the neighborhood, enjoying coffee or tea outside, or moving a regular workout outdoors.

Connect with others. Many people enter hibernation mode during the winter. Leverage the change of the seasons to reconnect with loved ones and engage in meaningful conversations.

Spring is a time of new beginnings and growth, so use this seasonal change to reset your mind and commit to healthy practices and behaviors. Determine where your mental energy is best spent this season, prioritizing what matters most.
