After months of feeling the cooler weather and the inward rhythm of winter<\/em><\/strong>, there comes that moment when the temperature slowly begins to rise<\/em>, the extra layers of clothing start to come off, and your desire to move, go out, and change something around you… or even something within your own mind… begins to return, subtly or with more intensity.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>

If you are experiencing this moment<\/em><\/strong> and haven\u2019t noticed it yet<\/strong>, this is my first invitation:<\/em><\/span><\/p>

Feel<\/strong> the atmosphere<\/em> around you. <\/span>Feel<\/strong> something within you<\/em> that may be different<\/em><\/strong>. <\/span>Feel<\/strong> this moment right now<\/strong>. <\/span>Take<\/em><\/strong> a deep breath. <\/span>Bring in presence<\/em><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>

How did that feel? <\/span>Is something new beginning to grow within you?<\/span><\/em><\/p>

Maybe yes, or maybe not yet.<\/strong> But as this seasonal transition unfolds<\/em>, a small desire for movement<\/em> may also begin to appear<\/em>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

A desire to walk<\/em><\/strong>. <\/span>To organize<\/em><\/strong> a space. <\/span>To return to a project<\/em><\/strong>. <\/span>To change<\/em><\/strong> something. <\/span>To go out<\/strong><\/em>. <\/span>To create<\/em><\/strong>. <\/span>To meet<\/em><\/strong> someone. <\/span>Or simply that hard-to-explain feeling that you want to start moving again<\/em><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>

And all<\/strong> of this can happen little by little…<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Spring begins slowly…<\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

You can find many articles<\/em> online talking about spring renewal and the beginning of a new cycle<\/em><\/strong>\u2026 and spring really can be all of that.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

But, when it comes to spring self-care<\/strong>, that wouldn\u2019t be the first thing I would tell you…<\/em> especially if you are still at the beginning of the season<\/strong>, such as August\/September in the Southern Hemisphere or February\/March in the Northern Hemisphere.<\/em><\/span><\/p>

During these months<\/em>, my suggestion is to allow yourself to feel<\/strong> that small internal shift<\/strong> that may begin slowly<\/strong>.<\/em><\/span><\/p>

Some desires or needs<\/em><\/strong> beginning to change. <\/span>A little extra energy<\/strong><\/em>. <\/span>Or even a desire to stay a little longer in the inward rhythm<\/em><\/strong> of winter. <\/span>All of this can be noticed as signals from your body, your current moment, and also the way you are moving through<\/strong> this seasonal transition.<\/span><\/p>

In Traditional Chinese Medicine<\/em>, spring is associated with the Wood element<\/em> and a more expansive<\/strong> kind of energy, connected with growth<\/strong>, creativity<\/strong>, and the impulse<\/strong> to move in some direction.<\/strong><\/em><\/span> And when this energy arrives<\/strong>, it can also be important to notice your limits<\/em><\/strong>, so you don\u2019t rush yourself<\/strong> by trying to do everything at once.<\/em><\/span><\/p>

Allow yourself to bloom in your own time.<\/strong><\/span> Try to step away, even a little, from that tendency<\/strong> to see the arrival of spring as a big invitation to restart<\/strong> everything<\/em>\u2026 because that can also place a lot of pressure<\/strong> on this moment<\/strong>.<\/em><\/span> Allow yourself to begin slowly.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

You don\u2019t need to decide right away<\/em> everything you want to do.<\/strong><\/span> You can begin<\/em> by noticing where some movement already exists within you<\/strong> and asking yourself<\/em>:<\/span><\/p>

  • Do I feel like going out more?<\/b><\/li>
  • Is my body asking for more movement?<\/b><\/li>
  • Is there a project or idea that has started calling my attention again and making me want to take part in it or finish it?<\/b><\/li>
  • Is there any part of my home that feels like it could use some renewal?<\/b><\/li>
  • Do I feel like discovering somewhere new?<\/b><\/li>
  • Do I want to spend more time around other people?<\/b><\/li>
  • Do I feel like creating something?<\/b><\/li><\/ul>

    And, of course, you don\u2019t need<\/strong> to ask yourself all of these questions<\/strong> or have all the answers<\/strong>.<\/em><\/span> You can simply let one of them become that initial impulse<\/strong> and begin from there\u2026 toward a spring that feels more fluid, gentle, and full of bloom.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>

    Choose<\/em> one or two things. <\/span>Notice what feels good<\/strong> and what is enjoyable<\/strong>.<\/em><\/span> If it makes sense, add something else later. <\/span>And follow your own flow.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
