5 ways to hit reset this spring

Wellness isn’t about overhauling everything at once. It’s about small, intentional choices that add up to a healthier, happier you. Spring is the perfect time to shake off the heaviness of winter and step into lighter, brighter days. From eating seasonally to sweating it out in the sauna, these simple, science-backed shifts (loved and practiced by our team) can help support your body, mind and mood as you head into the warmer months ahead.

Eat Seasonally

Nature knows best. Eating with the seasons means your body gets fresher, more nutrient-dense foods. Research shows seasonal produce often has higher levels of antioxidants and vitamins compared to out-of-season options that have been stored or transported long distances. Think asparagus, spinach, silverbeet, avocados and kiwifruit - the more variety, the better!

Sweat it out in the sauna

Regular sauna use isn’t just relaxing, studies suggest saunas may:

• Improve circulation and cardiovascular health
• Support detoxification through sweat
• Reduce muscle soreness and improve recovery after exercise
• Even lower stress by triggering the release of endorphins

Whether it’s infrared or traditional, taking time to sweat it out can leave you feeling lighter and more energised, like a full-body spring clean.

Walks on the Beach

There’s a reason a beach walk feels so grounding, and with the days getting a bit warmer - now’s the time to make the most of it. Walking in nature reduces cortisol (your stress hormone), lowers blood pressure and boosts serotonin for mood balance.

Bonus points if you’re walking barefoot on the sand, this means you’re also getting the benefits of “grounding,” which early research suggests may reduce inflammation and improve sleep by helping regulate your body’s natural rhythms. Add in the vitamin D boost from sunshine, and it’s a triple win for your body and mind.

Connection is Medicine

Humans are wired for connection, and studies show strong social bonds improve longevity, resilience and mental health. Social connection boosts oxytocin the “feel-good, bonding hormone” which lowers stress and even supports heart health.

This spring, make space for face-to-face catch-ups, whether it’s a coffee with a friend, joining a local group or scheduling in a regular family dinner. It doesn’t have to be big; even small moments of connection can shift your mood and strengthen your wellbeing.

Declutter your space, clear your mind

A cluttered space can make it harder for your brain to focus and can even increase stress levels. In fact, research links cluttered environments with higher cortisol and feelings of overwhelm.

Decluttering your home or workspace helps create mental clarity and a sense of control. Start small - one drawer, one shelf - and notice how a tidy space makes you feel calmer, lighter and more motivated.
