Spring or Vernal equinox is the day when the sun is directly above the Equator, making the day and night of equal length, marking the start of Spring. From this day onwards, the days become longer than the nights. I am so here for this. Are you?
Spring is the season of renewal. It is a very hopeful and beautiful time. It is therefore an opportune time to self reflect. And if you feel your self care has suffered and you neglected your needs, it will be a great time and opportunity to check in with yourself, set new intentions around this and take action.
Here are some self reflection questions, or journal prompts, for you to ponder over to celebrate yourself and honour the season of Spring.
You can journal/write down your answers, or type them into your phone or PC, speak them into a voice note, or simply be with them, meditate on them, or read them out aloud and then let your heart answer. Aim not to censor. Simply be with what arises for you.
This is for you, there is no right or wrong answer or way of doing this. Just like yoga and meditation, it is a practice. Your practice. Let your uniqueness shine. Simply know and feel that self reflection and journalling are deeply healing practices and can be very insightful.
Have fun. Here we go:
- What worked really well for you over winter?
- What can you celebrate from your experiences in winter?
- What is something you want to let go of, and leave behind, and not take over into the season of spring? Leave it in winter. Close the chapter. Give gratitude for the lesson.
- What is something you can commit to cultivating in the season of spring?
- What is one need of yours you can acknowledge and then fulfill in the season of spring? Perhaps a need you have neglected over winter, or longer.
Take your time with this. Let your unconscious express itself through your heart. Pause and notice. Aim not to go straight to the intellect and the mind. Feel, notice and express. This practice is a gift.
If you have any questions about self care, self reflection, intention setting and taking action, simply ask me, via email, sms, socials or in person. Happy to be of service.
With love and best wishes for a most joyful and fulfilling season of Spring.
