Spring has finally sprung, and what better way to say goodbye to cold, windy winter days than with a lifestyle refresh? With just a few simple, easy lifestyle hacks, you’ll leap into the new season completely reinvigorated and with a positive mindset.

Start Walking or Biking

One of the best parts of warmer weather is the opportunity to spend more time outdoors. You’d be surprised at just how much a quick walk or bike ride before or after work will lift your mood and put you in better spirits. The next time you need to stop by the grocery store, try walking or biking and bring a backpack to carry your food. If the day is nice enough, you can even take a break for a personal picnic.

Grow an Indoor Garden

Not everyone has the time or space to take care of an outdoor garden, but indoor gardening is an easy and rewarding way to make your home greener and enjoy fresh herbs and vegetables. Get a hold of some window planters or recycled boxes, find a spot with plenty of sunlight, and get planting. Herbs like rosemary and basil and veggies like bok choy and carrots can be grown indoors easily, but you can experiment with whatever works best for you and your home.

Download a Budgeting App

Spring is a time to refresh, and what better way to celebrate the season than with an overhaul of your spending habits? Budgeting apps like Mint are often free to download and provide you with a convenient way to keep track of your finances. Set goals for yourself to cut back on spending or just use the app to get a better idea of how much you really spend every month. 

Start Doing Yoga

Some people may be uncomfortable with trying out tricky poses in a class full of strangers, but you don’t have to join a gym to practice yoga. Try watching some videos on YouTube to get the basics down, then start out slow by practicing a few poses every morning. You’ll be surprised at how calm and relaxed you’ll feel after just a few stretches.
