Spring Reset: How to Prioritise Your Mental Wellbeing This Season


Contents

Introduction

As we step into April, the arrival of spring brings a sense of renewal. The longer days, brighter skies, and blossoming greenery offer an opportunity to refresh not just our surroundings but also our mindset. At London Bridge Therapy, we believe that this seasonal shift is the perfect time to reset and prioritise your mental wellbeing.

The Psychological Benefits of Spring

Springtime can have a profound effect on our mental health. Increased daylight boosts serotonin levels, helping to improve mood and energy. Warmer weather encourages us to spend more time outdoors, which can reduce stress and enhance overall wellbeing. This change in season can also act as a natural motivator for new beginnings and positive change.

How to Embrace a Spring Reset for Your Mental Wellbeing

1. Declutter Your Mind

Just as we spring-clean our homes, it’s helpful to declutter our thoughts. Take time to reflect on what’s been weighing you down—whether it’s worries, unhelpful habits, or negative self-talk. Practices like journaling or speaking with a therapist can help you process and let go of mental clutter.

2. Establish Healthier Routines

With the change in season, consider adjusting your daily habits. Introduce small but meaningful changes such as:

  • A consistent sleep schedule to align with natural daylight.
  • Taking morning or evening walks to enjoy the fresh air.
  • Reducing screen time and engaging in activities that nourish your mind.

3. Set Boundaries for a Healthier Work-Life Balance

Many people in London experience burnout due to demanding jobs and the fast-paced nature of city life. Spring is a good time to assess your work-life balance. Can you create more time for yourself? Are there commitments you need to say ‘no’ to? Prioritising self-care isn’t selfish—it’s essential.

4. Reconnect with Nature

Spending time in nature has proven benefits for mental health, including reduced stress and improved focus. Whether it’s a walk along the Thames, a visit to one of London’s parks, or simply sitting in the garden, make the most of the natural spaces available to you.

5. Seek Support When Needed

A seasonal reset doesn’t mean doing everything alone. If you’re feeling stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed, therapy can provide guidance and support. At London Bridge Therapy, we offer tailored approaches to help you create positive change in your life.

Spring is a reminder that renewal is possible, and even small shifts can lead to lasting improvements in mental wellbeing. If you’d like to explore how therapy can help you navigate this season, get in touch with us today.
