Last Sunday, when the hours of light and dark were in perfect balance, we welcomed in the first day of Spring.

Spring is the season of hope and has long been celebrated as a time of rebirth and renewal.  Perhaps now more than ever we are eager to embrace this cycle of growth and renewal in our own lives.

As nature ushers in more light filled days, you may begin to notice an area in your own life that needs some more light.  Do you need more joy, more peace, more self-love?  Remind yourself that it is safe to go within and listen to what your heart is telling you.

This simple act of self-care is an opportunity to discover what is important to you and also allows you to let go of what no longer serves you.

So often we think of self-care as being selfish but that could not be further from the truth.  In order to be the best version of ourselves, self-care is absolutely essential.

When your time and attention is constantly focused on giving to others, you can easily create an imbalance in your life.  Our desire to help others doesn’t have to interfere with our own self-care.

Devoting even short periods of time to care for yourself can give you the energy and motivation you need to maintain a healthy balance in your life.

When you give yourself compassion, everyone will benefit.

During this season of hope and renewal, the time is ripe for planting the seeds of possibility and letting your light shine.  Trust the seasons of your soul and your heart will begin to open in a way that can truly transform your life.
