‍Spring Clean Your Mind, Body, and Home: A Fresh Start for a Healthier You

Spring is the perfect time to hit reset—not just in your home, but in your habits, routines, and mindset. While we typically think of spring cleaning as scrubbing floors or clearing closets, this season is also a powerful invitation to declutter your mind and body too.

If you’ve endured a true winter (hello, gray skies and icy mornings), then you know how easy it is to fall out of healthy rhythms. Winter has its charm, but let’s be real—it can also drain your energy, motivation, and skin’s moisture!

Here’s how I’m welcoming spring with a renewed focus on my wellness—and how you can too. 💛

‍

Why Winter Can Throw You Off

  • More sickness = more setbacks: Viruses seem nonstop in the winter, and it’s exhausting recovering only to get sick again.
  • Dry, flaky skin: Cold air + indoor heat strip our skin of hydration and natural oils.
  • Mood dips from low sunlight: Shorter days can mess with your natural rhythm and lower your serotonin and dopamine levels.
  • Low motivation to move: Cold, gloomy weather makes it harder to get outside or stay active.

BUT—spring brings hope. Longer days, fresh air, sunshine, and a natural boost of energy. It’s the perfect time to come back to yourself!

Spring Cleaning for Your Mind & Body

1. Declutter Your Space

A cluttered home = a cluttered mind. Choose one area (closet, pantry, fridge) and tackle it this week.

I love using this non-toxic all-purpose cleaner —it smells amazing and doesn’t leave any harsh residue.”

‍

2. Reset Your Diet

After months of heavy comfort foods, your body craves lightness and nourishment. Focus on:

  • Fresh salads with seasonal veggies
  • Smoothies packed with greens and healthy fats
  • Grilled or roasted spring vegetables

This clean protein powder has been a lifesaver for quick breakfasts—easy on the gut and so delicious. Use code ORGANICMEG10 for 10% off!”

‍

3. Reignite Your Movement Routine ‍

No need to go hard. Start with simple movement that feels good:

  • 30-minute walk in the sunshine
  • Try a Pilates or barre class online
  • Stretch outside with your morning coffee

My favorite yoga mat has the best grip and is super easy to clean!”

‍

4. Practice Mindfulness Daily ‍

Spring cleaning for the mind is just as important as for the body. Try:

  • 5 minutes of quiet breathing in the morning
  • Journaling outside
  • Eating one meal a day with zero distractions

I love using this faith-based meditation app to help stay grounded.

5. Reconnect & Socialize

The warmer weather makes it easier to gather. Plan:

  • A picnic with friends
  • A weekend hike
  • Hosting a BBQ or outdoor dinner

Connecting with others is vital for emotional well-being—don’t underestimate the power of a good laugh and sunshine.

I keep this picnic blanket in my car all throughout spring and summer!

6. Set Fresh, Achievable Goals

What’s one healthy habit you’ve been putting off?

  • Getting to bed earlier?
  • Drinking more water?
  • Cooking more meals at home?

Set one realistic goal and build momentum.

I'm obsessed with this insulated water bottle to help me hit my hydration goals every day.

7. Embrace the Farmer’s Market Season

This is one of my favorite spring rituals! There’s something magical about shopping for food outdoors, meeting local growers, and bringing home colorful produce.

Why you should go:

  • Super fresh: Local produce = more nutrients + better taste.
  • Diverse options: Try fruits/veggies you won’t find at the grocery store.
  • Feel-good movement: Walking and carrying bags is built-in exercise!
  • Community connection: Meet neighbors, support farmers, and enjoy the atmosphere.

This market bag holds SO much and makes shopping feel like a vibe (also great for the pool)!
