It's finally Spring! (finally being the operative word here in upstate New York!) As for seasons, Spring is a personal fave. The snow finally melts away, the flowers bloom, and you wake up with the peaceful (and yes, sometimes utterly annoying) sound of birds outside of your window. What could be better then this? Well, summer...but it's a start!
My three favorite things about Spring:
1.) Break out the colorful flowing dresses and bask in your pastel glory. There is no better feeling than pealing off your parkas and mittens and trading them for warm weather clothing.
2.) Overall happiness! Not only is the sun radiating warmness, but suddenly so is everyone under it. The warmth brings smiles to people that is brought on so naturally we can't help but appreciate it and live the feeling to it's fullest.
3.) Finally and most of all, being outside. When there are 6 inches of snow and counting on the ground, trudging to the gym, to work, to just about anywhere out of your house suddenly seems like a horrible idea when your electric blanket is beckoning you in bed. When the temperature climbs, it's hard to not be outside.
So, what's my point? GO OUTSIDE! Live up the glorified weather and take in every minute you can. Your body will take in natural vitamins from the sun, you'll be up and moving without even realizing it, and maybe you'll even get to take your dog (or cat..?) on a walk. Although sometimes you need the gym, most of the time you can use the great outdoors. Go for a run, a leisurely walk, or hit the courts with some friends. Being outdoors gives you time to focus on yourself and your energy, and enhances the releasing of endorphines. Personally, I love exercising in parks. Seeing everyone around me running and taking in the sunshine, I become so motivated to be there and accomplish my work out goals. It's also a great time to people watch (check out the guy next to you and show off for him.) Whatever works.
