The new season is approaching. Spring is the season for a life reset, healthy routines & restarting again just like in the circle of nature. These 10 eco-spring habits will help you get healthier & start the new season fresh.
Wake up early
With this change of seasons comes the prolongation of daylight & the sun wakes up earlier each day. Take an example from it & make your mornings longer by waking up earlier. Exposure to the light from sunrise has a beneficial impact on your circadian rhythm, it helps you wake up more naturally & feel refreshed after a morning in the sun. But why is it eco? Having longer mornings makes you feel more put together, leading to being more efficient in other habits & sticking to lifestyle decisions.
Spent time offline & outside
Nature is reborn, the trees are getting greener, days are getting longer & warmer and the air is getting cleaner. These are all the reasons that you should spend more time outside. Take this opportunity to disconnect & take a break from the digital world stepping into the real one.
Save some energy & recharge your mental batteries outside, near nature, in the fresh air.
Walk more this spring
With the weather getting warmer you should take more walks. Walking is one of the easiest ways to add movement to your daily life & it’s a great way of transportation when you have time.
Choose a bike
For those in a hurry, a great habit to implement is using bike as a way of transportation. It also adds movement to your day & is eco-friendly.
Spring is a perfect time for switching to green transportation.
Plant care
Spring is the season when nature is reborn, so help the nature surrounding you. Take care of your plants, if you have a garden, plan for the work you want to do in it. Maybe regrow some of your house plants, plant something new. Gardening takes time and it’s vital that you plan each step.
Mindfully caring about the plants, touching the earth & focusing on this one thing has calming effect & it’s good for your mental health, especially when it gets you outside.

Eat seasonal fruits & veggies
