Spring has a way of waking us up.
The light shifts, the air softens, and something inside us starts to stir. It’s an invitation—not just to clean out closets or shake off winter dust—but to reset emotionally. To come back home to ourselves in gentle, doable ways.
You don’t need a total life overhaul. Just a few small rituals that make you feel a little more clear, a little more grounded, and a little more you.
Here are a few of my favorite ways to welcome a spring reset—mind, body, and space.

1. Declutter Your Both Your Physical and Mental Space
Our physical environment has a direct impact on our emotional environment. This spring, focus on decluttering both your physical space and your mental space. Light a candle (I love Breathe for this) and grab a notebook and your calendar.
As you go through your space, ask yourself: Do I still need this? How does this serve me? Does it support the life I’m building now? What can I let go of?
Next, make a list of everything that is on your mental load. Cross off anything you can let go of/say no to. Identify what you can outsource/delegate to another person. Look at your calendar, and assign specific tasks to certain days. Look at your calendar, and ask yourself again, do I need to do this? Is this serving me? What can I say no to?

2. Create a Grounding Morning Ritual
Spring mornings feel full of possibility. Try this simple ritual:
• Light a candle (Grounded is lovely here—earthy, fresh, and quietly powerful).
• Take 3 deep breaths.
• Wake up your body with slow stretches, neck and shoulder rolls, a few rounds of cat/cow
•Set an intention for the day -- a mantra, a goal, or even a word to describe how you want to feel today.

3. Reset Your Nervous System with Nature
Spending time outside—even just sitting on your porch—can lower stress, support mood, and regulate your nervous system. Bring your coffee outside, talk your dog for a short walk, or ground yourself by walking through grass. Anything goes!

4. Light with Intention
Candles aren’t just about scent—they’re tiny rituals. They mark time. They hold space. This season, let each lighting feel like a decision: to be here, to reset, to begin again.
Try using different scents for different times of day or moods.
• Breathe: Morning clarity
• Grounded: Midday focus
• Calm: Evening wind-down

In Closing
You deserve to feel supported, not overwhelmed, by seasonal shifts. Let spring be a time of softness—a chance to return to the small things that make you feel safe, well, and at home in your life.
Here’s to starting fresh, gently.
