​The Mental Health Boost of Spring: Does it Really Inspire Change?

Spring is finally here—and with it comes blooming trees, warmer weather, and often, the pressure to “start fresh.”

There’s something about this time of year that feels lighter. The air shifts, the days stretch longer, and suddenly, the heaviness of winter begins to lift. Maybe you’ve felt that too. Maybe you’ve noticed yourself feeling a little more at ease, but can’t quite name why.

Or maybe you’re in that space between the excitement of a fresh start and the uncertainty of what’s next.

Many people see spring as a season of blooming—not just for nature, but for ourselves. It’s common to feel inspired to re-evaluate old goals, especially those New Year’s resolutions that may have faded into the background. And while that urge for growth is beautiful, it’s also important to remember: real change doesn’t have to be big or fast.

Growth happens in small, steady steps—not giant leaps.

So maybe this season isn’t about doing more or jumping into action. Maybe it’s about doing what feels right for you.
What if instead of setting a long list of goals, you chose one small habit that supports your well-being? Something gentle. Something nourishing. Use the extra daylight and boost of Vitamin D from the sun to help motivate you towards what feels right.

Spring is a time of renewal. The brighter skies and longer days often stir a quiet desire to reset, to declutter, to move forward. But here’s the truth: change isn’t always graceful. It can come with resistance, hesitation, and even grief for the things we’re releasing.

Still, there’s something about this season that reminds us—gently, yet clearly: You’re allowed to begin again.

So take a breath, check in with yourself, and ask: What’s one small thing I want to focus on this season?

You don’t have to have it all figured out. And if spring feels like a lot to navigate, you don’t have to do it alone. I’d love to support you.
