Hey, Habit Thrivers, how has April been treating you so far? For some, it's been pretty dreary and cold - and, honestly, not very spring-like at all! Today, on episode #146 of the Habit Thrive Podcast, we're talking about April: The Messy Middle. We're going to explore habits and routines to help us embrace that in-between time, transitioning from winter to spring. This is the season of "almost". Almost there Almost blooming Almost ready You may be even feeling it in your body: Heavy and sluggish in the mornings Not quite motivated Maybe a little joy bubbling, but also a little resistance A little longing. Welcome to the messy middle. So, how do we work with the seasonal change instead of against it? Rituals, habits and routines! 1. A mindset ritual. Take a moment with your journal, and write yourself a little mindset mantra to remind yourself to rest, be present, and be patient with what is to come. 2. A food ritual. Shift from heavy foods to lighter fare. Choose things that detox and refresh the body. 3. A motivation ritual. Just move. Don't overthink it, and don't over-plan it. Just get up and dance! (or walk, or stretch...) 4. A home ritual. Start small, and declutter that kitchen drawer or reorganize a shelf. Clear the space to make room for what is next! Remember: You are not the person you were yesterday, and you are not yet the person you will become tomorrow. You are in a sacred middle space. Give yourself some space to bloom!
