Spring Reset
Winter can slow us down—sometimes in good ways, sometimes in ways that leave us feeling stuck. But spring invites motion. It’s a season of renewal, fresh energy, and forward momentum.
You’re not alone if you’ve felt sluggish, unmotivated, or not yourself. But here’s the good news: You don’t have to wait for motivation to magically appear. You can create it.
1. Reset Your Routines
The way you start and structure your day matters. Even small shifts in your routine can help you regain energy, clarity, and focus.
- Morning Upgrade – Start your day with five minutes of journaling, stretching, or quiet reflection instead of immediately reaching for your phone.
- Midday Boost – Set a reminder to step outside, even if it’s just for a short walk around your building. A change of scenery recharges the mind.
- Evening Wind-Down – Swap mindless scrolling for something more intentional: a book, a creative project, or a real conversation.
2. Revive Your Workspace
Your physical environment impacts your mental state, whether you realize it or not. Make it a space that inspires and energizes you.
- Rearrange Your Desk – If your back faces the door, turn it around. What message does that send? Does it make you seem closed off? Less approachable? A simple shift in furniture can make you feel more open, engaged, and present.
- Change the View—Swap out old pictures, add a plant, or bring in an art piece that makes you smile. Fresh visuals equal fresh energy.
- Spring Gesture – It doesn’t have to be expensive! Surprise your team with a donut pit stop, small packets of seeds to plant, or handwritten thank-you notes. Small gestures have big impacts.
3. Refresh Your One-on-Ones & Meetings
If meetings feel stale, it’s time to shake things up.
- Start with a Positive Check-in – Instead of diving straight into business, start by asking, “What’s something good that happened this week?“
- Move Your Meeting Outside – If possible, take a walking meeting. Fresh air = fresh ideas.
- Rotate Who Leads: Give team members a chance to lead the discussion. This keeps engagement high and brings fresh perspectives.
4. Get Back on W.A.T.C.H.
Spring is the perfect time to take inventory of where you are and where you’re going.
- Words – Are you speaking life into yourself and others?
- Actions – Do your daily behaviors align with your values?
- Thoughts – What’s taking up space in your mind? Are you feeding your focus or your fears?
- Character – Who are you becoming through your choices?
- Habits – Are your routines helping or hurting you?
5. Engage in Something New
One of the fastest ways to break out of a rut is to do something different.
- Take a class – Creativity fuels energy. Try a craft, cooking, or professional development course.
- Volunteer – A shift in focus can be the mental reset you need. Helping others brings clarity to your own journey.
- Plan a staycation – You don’t have to go far to reset. Explore your city like a tourist. Visit a museum, take a scenic drive, or try a new restaurant.
6. Bring the Energy
If the workplace feels heavy, be the one to shift the vibe.
- Shock your team (in a good way) by saying hello to people you don’t normally interact with.
- Dress it up – Wear something bright, fun, or bold to lift the mood.
- Make work feel good – Small moments of joy and connection create lasting impact.
Give Yourself Permission to Start Over
A reset doesn’t mean perfection—it means progress. You don’t need a grand, dramatic transformation. Start where you are with what you have.
