Seedlings emerge, the strongest are chosen and used for crops.
Symptoms of Early Spring are…Jaundice, Hot flashes, Distractible, Obsessiveness, Substance abuse, Migraine, Infrequent rashes, Fever, Burning eyes, Insomnia, Controlling
Body – Symptoms and similar traits for this time of year are part of your Common Sense of Sight (Enthusiasm). Spring is a fun time of year for all of your common senses. Happy hormone production is at peak. Love is in the air (oxytocin). Sports seasons are wrapping up (dopamine). Lots of outdoor chores and spring cleaning to do (seratonin & endorphins).
You can only produce these hormones if you are eating well, learning new things, having fun with other people, and moving your body. It’s worth the effort. A happy hormone natural high is spring tonic to your body, mind, and spirit.
Mind – Adapting to Spring is the easiest feeling task of the year. Winter melts away leaving clutter and dust from the last season. Time to clean up your lifestyle in general. Spring cleaning makes you think clearer. It’s closure on the long winter past, and preparing for a new season. Keep detailed calendars and lists. Check things off as you do them. Consider as many tasks as possible to be benchmarks of your day, not deadlines. Make the time sensitive tasks priorities. All others can fit wherever they may. It doesn’t matter if you finish the whole list or not. Postpone or delegate what you can’t comfortably finish. It will be a long warm-weather season, pace yourself.
Spirit – This is when changes become visible. You can feel a difference in yourself as spring arrives. Emerging from the winter stronger, improved from the inside out. Your dream of a better life has grown into a goal. It is the season of being optimistic about accomplishing any benchmarks, your dreams of an ideal outcome.
