Spring is in the air and there’s no better time to refresh and reset. While we often think of spring cleaning in terms of our homes, our wellness routines deserve the same attention. From nutrition to fitness and self-care, here are 20 ways to spring clean your wellness routine and set yourself up for a healthier, happier season.
1. Declutter Your Pantry
Out with the processed junk and in with whole, nutrient-dense foods. Toss expired items and stock up on fresh fruits, veggies, and whole grains.
2. Refresh Your Workout Routine
Been doing the same workout for months? Switch it up! Try outdoor workouts, sign up for a new class, or incorporate strength training if you haven’t already.
3. Prioritize Gut Health
Your gut microbiome shifts with the seasons, so support it with probiotic-rich foods and a supplement like Zenwise’s Digestive Enzymes.
4. Hydrate Smarter
Swap sugary drinks for infused water, herbal teas, or coconut water to stay hydrated and refreshed.
5. Reassess Your Sleep Hygiene
Longer days can disrupt sleep. Stick to a consistent bedtime, limit screen time before bed, and create a calming nighttime routine.
6. Deep Clean Your Workout Gear
Wash your yoga mats, gym bags, and water bottles. Yeah, we know it’s easy to blow off this task, but it’s important! Bacteria thrive in these areas, so a deep clean is essential.
7. Get Outside More
Sunlight and fresh air boost mood and vitamin D levels. Make outdoor walks, hikes, or workouts a priority.
8. Detox Your Social Media
Unfollow accounts that don’t inspire you and curate your feed to promote positivity and wellness.
9. Update Your Skincare Routine
Spring brings changes in humidity and sun exposure. Switch to a lighter moisturizer and don’t forget SPF.
