As the days get longer, the skies turn bluer, and the trees begin to bloom, something magical happens: we naturally feel a pull to start fresh. Spring is the perfect time for a little spring reset - not just for your home, but for how you feel on the inside. Just like you might open the windows and clear out the clutter from your cupboards, you can also clear out the bits and pieces that weigh you down emotionally.
If you’ve been feeling a bit tired, distracted, or just not quite yourself, this is your gentle reminder that it’s okay to pause and take care of your inner world. You don’t need a big plan or a dramatic life change. Often, the simplest habits are the ones that make the biggest difference. In this blog, we’ll explore 7 super easy ways to feel lighter this spring. All natural. All doable. And all designed to help you feel more like… you.
Try a Simple Spring Journaling Habit
There’s something surprisingly powerful about putting pen to paper. Journaling isn’t about writing perfect sentences or long diary entries. It’s just a little time each day to check in with yourself. Think of it as a mini spring cleaning for your thoughts.
You can start with a simple question each morning:
“What would make today feel good?”
Or in the evening:
“What felt light and joyful today?”
No pressure. No rules. Just write whatever comes to mind. Even five minutes of journaling a day can help clear out mental clutter and give your thoughts a little more breathing room.
Some people find that writing down their to-do list for the next day helps them sleep better. Others like jotting down three small wins or things they’re grateful for. Whatever you choose, make it easy and enjoyable. Keep a pretty notebook next to your bed, or open a notes app while you sip your morning tea.
Step Outside and Walk (Without Your Phone)
We know walking is good for our bodies, but it’s also one of the easiest ways to reset your headspace. And you don’t have to power-walk or track your steps. Just a gentle stroll - especially in nature - can do wonders.
Here’s the magic part: leave your phone behind.
Even just 10 minutes without distractions gives your mind space to wander, daydream, and relax. You might notice the birds chirping, the way the sunlight hits the leaves, or how the breeze feels on your skin. All the little things we often miss when we’re rushing.
Walking in nature has been shown to lower stress levels and improve mood. In Japan, they even have a name for it: “forest bathing.” No actual bath involved - just spending time among trees and greenery. So if you’re looking for a simple way to reset this spring, take a walk. No headphones, no screen - just you, fresh air, and a bit of peace.
Declutter Your Digital Life
We’re always told to clean out our cupboards in spring, but what about our phones and inboxes? Digital clutter can be just as overwhelming as physical mess - and often sneakier.
Start with your phone. Do you really need 42 open tabs? Or that app you downloaded once in 2021? Clearing out old apps, deleting screenshots you’ll never use, or even just tidying your home screen can give you an unexpected sense of calm.
Next, try your inbox. Set a timer for 15 minutes and delete old emails, unsubscribe from newsletters you don’t read, or sort important stuff into folders. You’ll be surprised how much clearer your mind feels afterwards.
You can even do a mini digital detox - choose one evening a week where you switch off your devices a little earlier. Light a candle, play music, read a book. Give your mind space to slow down and reset.
Reconnect With Nature (Even If You Live in a City)
Nature has this quiet way of making everything feel okay, even when things are a bit messy. And you don’t have to hike a mountain or book a countryside getaway to feel it.
Look around your local area. Is there a park nearby? A quiet path with trees? Even a garden or balcony with a few plants? Just spending time outside, breathing in fresh air, and noticing the changes of the season can help you feel more grounded.
Try a few of these gentle nature habits:
-
Watch the sky for five minutes in the morning
-
Plant something in a pot - herbs, flowers, anything
-
Sit under a tree and simply listen to the birds
Nature doesn’t ask you for anything. It’s just there, waiting to support you. And in spring, when everything is blooming again, it’s the perfect reminder that new energy is always possible - even after a slow winter.
Create a Calming Atmosphere With Natural Scents
Your space has a big effect on how you feel. And one of the quickest ways to shift the mood in your home is through scent. Aromatherapy is a simple, natural way to create a peaceful atmosphere that helps you unwind and recharge.
This spring, try these natural essential oils thoughtfully blended with your wellbeing in mind, for a mood-lifting vibe:
-
Lemon – fresh and zesty, great for clearing mental fog
-
Lavender – classic for calming and unwinding
-
Peppermint – uplifting and gently energising
-
Geranium – floral and balancing, perfect for emotional resets
-
Eucalyptus – refreshing and clearing, especially good in the morning
You can use a diffuser, add a few drops to your bath, or even make a room spray. Another easy option? Natural candles made with essential oils (our range at is full of gentle, seasonal scents - created without any synthetic ingredients).
When your home smells good in a natural way, it lifts the whole space - and your energy too.
Give Yourself Permission To Do Less
We live in a world that loves being busy. But doing more doesn’t always mean feeling better. In fact, one of the most powerful ways to reset your inner world in spring is to simply do… less.
This doesn’t mean quitting your job or cancelling everything. It means choosing one or two small things you can let go of this month. Maybe it’s saying no to an event you don’t really want to go to. Maybe it’s giving yourself a weekend without plans. Or maybe it’s just leaving the dishes until morning without feeling guilty.
Doing less gives your body and your thoughts space to breathe.
You could even try a “slow Sunday” ritual - wake up slowly, make breakfast with care, take a walk, light a candle, and do whatever makes you feel rested. No pressure. No schedule. Just you being kind to yourself. Remember, rest is productive too. When we pause, we recharge. And that energy carries us into the rest of the week feeling so much lighter.
Start a “Feel Lighter” Jar
Here’s a simple idea that might become your new favourite habit: the Feel Lighter Jar.
It’s easy. Grab a glass jar (or even a mug) and some scraps of paper. Every day—or whenever you feel like it - write down one small thing that made you feel lighter. It could be:
-
A kind word from someone
-
A song that made you smile
-
The sun coming through your window
-
A walk that felt peaceful
-
Laughing at something silly
Drop it in the jar. That’s it.
By the end of the month, you’ll have a little collection of good moments to look back on. It’s like a gentle reminder that joy is made of simple things. And when you focus on them - even for a moment - it changes how you feel.
A Gentle Reminder: You don’t have to do all seven of these things to feel better this spring. Start with one. Maybe journaling speaks to you. Or maybe it’s walking without your phone, or lighting a candle at the end of a busy day. This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about feeling a little lighter, one step at a time.
A Spring Reset That Feels Like You
This Spring, let yourself reset in a way that feels natural. Let go of the pressure to do everything. Focus on the small habits that bring you back to yourself. Whether it’s clearing out digital clutter, reconnecting with nature, or simply making a cup of tea and breathing deeply for five minutes - these simple moments are powerful. They remind you that you are allowed to slow down. You are allowed to choose calm. And you are allowed to feel lighter, gently and naturally. Let this spring be your invitation to start fresh, not just on the outside, but on the inside too.
