Spring Has Sprung


The weather is starting to improve outside which brings a rejuvenating feeling to many people. Spring is a good time to start making changes in your lifestyle. Taking a walk at night is always a good way to unwind after a filling dinner. Walking also gives you time to think and let those thoughts go for the rest of the evening.

Spending more time outside rather than in the house seems to give people a healthier personality. There is so many little things we can do to pass the time outside, we see and talk to neighbors that we haven't seen in a few months. Spring is like a beginning, a new fresh day. Don't you notice that people seem so much happier when the weather is nicer?

Use this time to start new habits in exercise, eating, things you have put off. Spend time with your family. Go on picnics, participate in outside activities, encourage any activity that can bring your family out of the home. We have all been inside for many months sitting in front of the TV, computer, mainly sitting. Time to make a change people.

How about making a commitment right now while you're reading this. Make a list of accomplishments for this week and do them, next week make another. If you take it week by week and you see you are heading in the right direction, you will push harder the next week. If you just sit there, though, and don't start anything, nothing will ever change.

My goals are to start exercising just a little bit every day and my husband and I have many projects to complete around the house outside. We work on them together and we still manage to have fun. We don't put any pressure on, just do what we can each day. We like to go camping in the summer, so in order to be able to do that we have to get these things done soon.
