Spring 2024 has officially begun: a time for travel, nature, and fun. Springtime is an excellent time to clear the mind and focus on self-improvement, mental health, and building motivation to try new things.
Springtime Mental Health
As we enter the new
season, it's a good time to look at our well-being. The end of winter brings
about change, sometimes positive, sometimes negative. It's important not to
neglect our mental health or to stop improving it either. The best way to enjoy
springtime is a healthy mindset.
"Springtime Mental
Health and What it Means for You," an article from
northstartransitions.com, goes further in depth about how spring affects the
mind. The author also talks about SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder), a mental
disorder that affects moods as seasons change through the year.
