As winter passes and the world starts to bloom once again, many of us feel the need to refresh, recharge and reset. And as winter turns to spring, our energy levels rise and fall, and those lingering months of cold can leave us feeling uninspired, unmotivated and ready for a wellness reset.
So whether you’ve been struggling with low energy, winter blues, seasonal fatigue or anything in between, now’s a good time to pick up new health and wellness habits.
What Is Winter Fatigue and Why Are You Feeling It?
Spring Nutrition: A Fresh Take
Eat seasonal superfoods for more energy. Eating seasonally complements your body’s natural cycle, putting you in the mode of awakening, detoxifying and energizing. Replace heavy comfort foods with lighter nutrient rich choices such as:
🌿 Leafy greens (Spinach, Kale, Arugula) → Great source of chlorophyll to support natural detox.
🍋 Citrus Fruits (Lemons, Oranges, Grapefruit) → Packed with Vitamin C to strengthen immunity level and increase energy.
🥕 Root veggies (Carrots, Beets, Radishes) → Aid digestion and give sustained energy.
Hydrate and Replenish Electrolytes
In winter, we have a tendency to drink less water, leading to fatigue, dry skin and slow digestion. Hydrating your body properly has been known to elevate energy levels and boost mood.
Pro tip:Add a pinch of Himalayan sea salt or squeeze some lemon with your water to regain some minerals and electrolytes.

Embracing Physical Activity
A great way to shake winter sluggishness off and boost overall wellness is by getting back in to movement. Spring brings warmer weather and increased daylight hours, which makes it easier to get outside. But don’t worry, if those cold days are lingering, movement is just as affective whether you’re in a gym, your living room, or a park.
Move Your Body in the Morning
Even 5-10 minutes of movement right when you get up can wake up that system and get your circulation going!
• Sunlight Walks → Regulates circadian rhythm & increases Vitamin D production
• All types of Stretching/Yoga → Improve flexibility and energy flow.
• Bodyweight Exercises → Engage the muscles and stimulate your metabolism.
Try Outdoor Workouts
Get outside and do something active! Spring is a great time for:
• Jogging or Hiking – Raise your heart while soaking in the sun and nature.
• Cycling – A good way to increase blood flow and increase endurance.
• Outdoor Yoga – Aids in relieving stress and tension, and grounds you in nature.
Enhancing Mental Well-Being
Spring is not just for physical health — it’s also an opportune time to reset your mindset and relieve stress.
• Mindfulness & Meditation: Spend 5 minutes each morning practicing mindfulness to relieve stress and gain clarity.
• Re-establish Connections with Friends & Community: Social connections in fact are vital for mental health. Schedule outdoor meet-ups, coffee dates or group workouts to keep the energy flowing.
• Declutter Your Space: A spring reset isn’t only about your body — your environment influences your energy as well. Try spring cleaning to your workspace and home, to remove old energy and welcome new positive vibes.
Optimizing Sleep Patterns
If the winter blues have you all mixed up in your sleep schedule, this is the moment to reset.
• Adjust to Natural Light: Get some early sunlight exposure within the first 30 minutes of waking up to balance your circadian rhythm.
• Establish a Calming Evening Ritual: Switch screens off 60 minutes before sleeping, sip herbal tea and take PlantFusion’s Magnesium Glycinate to get some high-quality shut-eye.
• Establish a Regular Sleeping Routine: Follow a bed-time routine to train your body to adapt to this spring time vigor naturally.
