If you feel the need to boost your energy, you’re likely feeling the effects of spring’s arrival.
During seasonal changes, it’s easy to feel drained, experience mood swings, lack concentration, feel sleepy, and find daily activities more tiring.
This happens because we are waking up from the sluggishness and slow pace of winter, a time when we could cozy up at home to protect ourselves from the cold.
In winter, due to the temperature, we are slower compared to warmer seasons because our activities follow the reduced daylight hours.
During seasonal changes, our bodies need to readjust to nature’s rhythms, which consumes a lot of energy, causing that persistent feeling of tiredness.
If you want to feel better and enjoy the benefits of spring, here’s how to quickly regain the energy you need.
Spring Fatigue: How to Boost Your Energy
Pay Attention to Your Diet
Diet is the fuel for the body, meaning that energy mainly comes from what we eat.
Therefore, it’s wise to start modifying winter meals, which are typically richer in sugars and fats.
The ideal choice is to prefer foods rich in water and vitamins, which will detoxify your body and help you regain proper energy.

Mood (and Weather) Swings
During seasonal changes, the weather is unpredictable: one day it rains, the next day it’s sunny, then it rains again.
In short, high weather instability can reflect on our mind and body, which must readjust to the daily climate.
This continuous change can trigger mood swings. Maybe this spring you can make a change by taking it as an opportunity to explore these emotions, think about what they want to tell you, ask yourself questions, and discover hidden aspects of your personality.

Go with the Flow of Time
Seasonal changes also bring daylight saving time. What’s an extra hour of light?
Actually, this extra hour can disrupt us, so it’s essential to follow new rhythms and take the time to reorganize activities.
Take time to figure out how to do this, follow the light without necessarily adding new activities but see it as an opportunity to perform daily tasks more calmly.
Sleep the Right Amount of Hours
The quality and quantity of sleep are crucial for our energy.
Ideally, you should sleep about 7/8 hours a night. If you have trouble falling asleep, try relaxing your muscles with three deep breaths.
Close your eyes and focus on the movement of your belly rising and falling like a balloon.
This way, you’ll rest well and wake up the next day with the right amount of energy.
