Along with spring, our bodies wake up and get ready for a new season. Longer days and warmer weather require more energy from us, but our bodies often need time to adjust, which leads to spring fatigue and tiredness.

cientists are still not sure why exactly this happens. What’s known is that our bodies react to change and seasonal change triggers stress that most of us feel through physical symptoms. When spring arrives, our bodies increase the production of hormones like serotonin, dopamine, and cortisol, which requires more energy and leaves us more tired and less motivated throughout the day.

In order to boost energy and minimize stress until you adjust, try the following tips.

  1. Keep the temperature in your home consistent
  2. Take naps when needed
  3. Have a daily routine
  4. Listen to what your body is saying
  5. Meditate
  6. Take an epsom salt bath
  7. Drink more water
  8. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables
  9. Breathe deeply
  10. Go out for a walk
  11. Exercise and stretch
  12. Take a cold shower
