Tips for Spring Restoration

Despite the snow, spring has officially arrived this month! March brings the promise of new life. We love this time of year. The ground starts to smell fresh and ripe. Small green buds begin to swell from the earth reaching up, up, up. Birds chatter in the trees. The sun stays in the sky a little longer each day. After a long, cold winter of hibernation, spring restores nature’s beauty.

Spring inspires us to restore ourselves, too and these self-care techniques will lead you to restoration of mind, body and spirit. 

1. Hydrate. Drink a glass or two of water first thing in the morning. Keeping yourself hydrated helps boost your mood, improves brain power and protects you against disease.
2. Make a gratitude list. Spending just a few minutes a day writing down what you are grateful for can dramatically shift your day. The more gratitude you have, the more open to abundance you become.
3. Breathe. Set aside a few minutes each day to practice breathing. There are so many benefits! Among them, diaphragmatic breathing alleviates stress, reduces pain, strengthens internal muscles and moves blood to organs and tissues. If you aren't sure how to get started, then try our next drop-in yoga class, Circulate Uterine Blood Flow Practice with PDtM co-founder Beth Heller on our Fully Fertile App, or schedule an Soothe the Senses: Calm the Nervous System Fertility Enhancing Massage™  to receive some hands-on breath work coaching.
4. Stretch. Five to 10 minutes of stretching in the morning increases energy levels, enhances circulation, reduces injury and centers your mind. Even better is a regular yoga practice. Get started by downloading the Fully Fertile App today to give you a jump start! Our next Signature Yoga for Fertility Series begins on March 29th to reduce anxiety and stress by 20% or more in just six weeks.
5. Eliminate something from your diet that isn’t serving you. Instead of overhauling your entire diet, start by taking out one food that doesn’t nourish your body. Replace it with a different item that supports your desire for restoration. Learn even more by working with scheduling a nutrition consult!

We look forward to seeing you virtually or in-person at one of our centers to help you get started. Many wishes for a beautiful spring!
