A Fresh Start: Embracing Spring’s Energy to Let Go and Grow

---

Ah, spring. It feels like an amazing, big, long stretch—a time when everything that’s been resting suddenly awakens. The fresh air flows through the body, and the sun starts peeking through the clouds. Of course, if you’re in San Francisco, the sun can be a bit of a tease, greeting the day only to hide behind Karl the fog, with a little rain thrown in. Still, one thing about spring is undeniable: flowers bloom, days grow longer, and the energy begins to shift. People seem lighter, with smiles and a bit more pep in their step, shedding off the sluggishness of winter.

When spring arrives, there’s a noticeable surge of motivation, a slight increase in social energy—it’s like emerging from a winter hibernation. There’s a natural urge to gather with others, make plans, and spend time outdoors, whether exploring new places or revisiting old favorites. Spring brings an excitement for what’s to come, even when nothing’s been planned yet—the possibilities feel endless.

Letting go of the winter heaviness can be as simple as stepping outside to enjoy the new blooms, noticing how the trees start to bud, and hearing the birds return. This season, the focus is on releasing tension and doubt, making room for openness, exploration, and curiosity. It’s time to embrace the fresh energy that spring offers.

Spring cleaning—anyone else dive into that ritual? 

When was the last time a big decluttering session left you feeling lighter? Or did you start with all the motivation, only to lose steam halfway through? There’s something so satisfying about clearing out what no longer serves us, creating space that feels fresh and ready to invite new possibilities.

Decluttering a physical space can be freeing, but how about decluttering the mind? It’s not always as easy as tossing out old clothes or donating a jacket that no longer fits. Mental decluttering can be much harder, especially when those thoughts, beliefs, and habits have become so ingrained that they feel like part of who we are. It’s tough to release something that’s been defining us for so long, even when we know it’s no longer serving our highest good.

What’s one habit, belief, or physical item that could be let go of this spring to make room for new opportunities? Sometimes, the things that weigh us down—whether it’s an old way of thinking or a cluttered space—hold us back from stepping into the energy of a new season. Letting go isn’t always easy, and it’s natural to feel

attached to certain things. But by clearing out the unnecessary, both physically and mentally, we create room for fresh perspectives, growth, and new possibilities.

So, how do you feel about mental decluttering? Do you notice certain thoughts or beliefs that weigh you down, or perhaps habits that no longer serve your well-being? Letting go of those is a process, but it’s one worth exploring this spring.

Spring is the perfect season to plant seeds for growth.

Both in our personal lives and the world around us. What dreams or goals have been lingering, but haven’t been acted on yet? Maybe there’s something longed for, but the first step still needs to be taken. What’s one small action that can be taken this season to get started? Just a tiny step can set everything in motion.

This season, the focus is on taking it slow—allowing time for ideas to flow without the pressure of perfection. Mistakes aren’t signs that something isn’t meant to be; they are opportunities to learn and grow. Taking breaks and letting ideas come naturally can lead to new and exciting possibilities. Spring is a great time to nurture any journey we're on, share experiences, and offer insights.

So, what area of life feels ready for growth this spring? Is it career, personal development, or relationships? What small action can be taken today to nurture that growth? Growth doesn’t have to be big or fast; it’s the small, consistent actions that lead to meaningful change.

As we plant seeds for growth this season, let’s remember: it’s the small steps that create the most lasting impact.

• New Beginnings: Ready to embrace something fresh.
• Rebirth: Actively working on new goals or dreams.
