Whether you choose to do 1 or all of these things during your day, with Spring upon us it is a good time to start implementing them. With new beginnings also comes renewed motivation and freshness, and the more we can embark on refreshing and renewing our body after the hibernation of winter, the better we are going to feel coming into summer.

After a summer of faster pace, more activity rest and replenishment is essential, but over doing this and reverting towards laziness and comfort will not assist with nourishment and revival of your energy over this period. The last thing we want is to reach spring, and have that realisation of "oh god how am I going to fit into that swim suit" or those summer clothes.
