1. NEUROSCIENCE: Your Brain Loves New Beginnings

Spring isn’t just a season—it’s a biological invitation. Our brains are wired to respond to novelty and renewal. This is thanks to dopamine, the motivation molecule that fires up when we experience something new.

Just as the earth sheds its winter coat, our minds crave a shift from stagnation to growth. Research shows that creating even small changes in routine—like adjusting your morning ritual or taking a new route to work—can stimulate neuroplasticity and reignite your sense of purpose.

Spring is the perfect time to rewire and refresh. Let the season mirror your mind.

2. BODY TALK: A Somatic Reset for Renewal

Try this gentle, 5-minute movement sequence to reawaken your body:

1. Stand tall and place your feet firmly on the ground.
2. Slowly reach both arms overhead as you inhale, visualising light and space entering your body.
3. Exhale and sweep your arms down by your sides, imagining releasing what no longer serves you.
4. Repeat 5 times, syncing breath with movement.
5. Then place your hands over your heart and take 3 deep breaths. 

This moving meditation activates your parasympathetic nervous system and signals to your body: it’s safe to begin again.

3. SOULFUL CONNECTION: Reflection & Journaling Prompt

Journal or reflect on:

• What am I ready to release as I step into a new season?
• Where do I desire fresh energy or new beginnings in my life?
• What is one loving action I can take this week to align with my next chapter?

Spring reminds us that change is natural and growth is cyclical. You don’t need to have it all figured out—you just need to begin.
