“Spring breezes whisper promises of fresh beginnings. The days lengthen, light returns, and with it, a surge of energy to reshape our lives. Whether it’s dusting off forgotten dreams or simply tending to our inner gardens, spring reminds us that change is a catalyst for growth.”- Anonymous

The ancient civilization marked their new year with the beginning of the spring, be it the Chinese New Year or the Hindu New Year all start with the arrival of spring. It was a time of the year when ancient people would gather around to celebrate the passage of harsh winters accompanied by the harvesting of their fresh crops. They would thank god for a good yield and seek his blessing to start their new year.

We are not farmers anymore but that shouldn’t stop us from practicing what’s universal, “change”. It’s the order of the universe, in this fast-moving world, only change is constant. I try to celebrate spring by incorporating one small change in habit that could make me a better person. I do it every every week and keep a journal, as small change leads to big differences and only when you start, you would be able to embrace it.

So, don’t forget to embrace the warm sunlight as spring brings longer daylight hours and this sunlight exposure often boosts serotonin levels, leading to improved mood, and reduced feelings of depression. Also, the symbolism of spring as a time of rebirth and fresh starts can spark a desire for inner reflection and personal growth. Hence, this is the best time of the year to start again on that unread book on the shelf or maybe just to water your plants regularly. On a personal level, I have planned more trips to the mountains and will be leaving next week. I always have something to look forward to as this pushes me more to achieve my goals.

And if you think we are halfway through the spring then that’s correct, but hey, what’s a better time to start something than now? Start now and encourage others too around you to start their self-development journey.

I am trying to be regular with my writing and planning to write more often. If you can relate to my content and like it, do consider following me :) as this would motivate me to write more.
