spring self-care reset: how to refresh your mind, body, and routine + free journal printable

United States


Spring is the perfect time to reset and refresh your self-care routine. Whether you're a mom juggling family life, someone looking to embrace the season with intention, or anyone in between, this guide has simple ways to rejuvenate your mind, body, and daily habits. With longer days and warmer weather, it's the ideal season to nurture yourself and embrace a sense of renewal.

1. Spring Skincare Refresh

As the seasons change, it’s time to give your skincare routine a seasonal update. Swap out heavier moisturizers for lighter, hydrating options that suit spring’s warmer weather. Don’t forget to protect your skin with SPF as the sun grows stronger. If you're a mom (or simply someone who's always on the go), carving out time for skincare can be a relaxing ritual that’s quick but effective.

Tip: Treat your skin to a hydrating sheet mask or gentle scrub to unveil a fresh, glowing complexion for the new season.

2. Journaling for Clarity and Calm

Journaling is an excellent way to carve out a bit of time for yourself—even if it’s just a few minutes a day. Moms know how easy it is to get caught up in everyone else’s needs, but writing down your thoughts, setting seasonal intentions, or practicing gratitude can be a grounding activity. It’s a reminder to prioritize your own mental clarity, even during busy days.

To make this practice even easier, I’ve created a free printable: Seasonal Journaling for Clarity & Calm—a simple yet meaningful way to check in with yourself, reflect on the season, and embrace moments of self-care.

Tip: Use seasonal prompts like “What am I most excited about this spring?” or “How can I bring more balance into my life?” to help you stay centered. Download your free copy and carve out a few moments just for you!

3. Creative Self-Care with Coloring Sheets

Whether you're a mom who needs a creative outlet or someone looking for a fun and relaxing activity, adult coloring sheets are a fantastic way to unwind. As the spring season brings new life and vibrant colors, it’s the perfect time to tap into your creativity and de-stress.

I’m especially excited to share that I’m in the process of creating my own collection of coloring sheets for my Etsy store! It's something I’ve been wanting to do for a while, and I believe now is the perfect time to offer these designs. In fact, the picture below is a sneak peek of one of the coloring sheets I created, inspired by the beauty and energy of spring.

Tip: Keep an eye on my Etsy shop for more spring-inspired designs—coloring sheets are a wonderful way to refresh your mind and embrace the season's creativity!

4. Mindful Morning Routines

A mindful morning routine sets the tone for the day ahead. For moms, mornings can feel rushed as you try to get everyone ready and out the door. But taking a few moments to stretch, breathe, or meditate can help you feel more balanced and prepared for whatever the day brings. And even if you're not a mom, a peaceful morning routine will ground you and help you start your day with calm and clarity.

Tip: Start small—just five minutes of stretching or deep breathing can make a huge difference in how you feel during the day.

5. Outdoor Walks to Reconnect with Nature

Taking time to connect with nature is one of the simplest forms of self-care. For moms, this could mean a walk with the kids or a peaceful solo stroll to clear your mind. Whether you’re getting fresh air with the family or enjoying a quiet moment by yourself, a walk outside can boost your mood and energy. Plus, the sights and sounds of spring—new blossoms, buzzing bees, and birds chirping—are a beautiful reminder of the season’s potential.

Tip: Use this time to unplug—leave your phone behind and immerse yourself in the experience of nature.

6. Seasonal Decluttering for Mental Clarity

Spring cleaning is more than just tidying up; it’s an opportunity to clear out the mental and physical clutter that builds up over time. As a mom, your space can quickly get filled with toys, papers, and random items. Decluttering a small area at a time can create a sense of calm and order—something that’s helpful for everyone, whether you're managing a household or just looking for more space and clarity in your life.

Tip: Tackle one space a day, whether it’s a drawer, a closet, or your kitchen counters. Small steps add up to a big difference.

Spring is all about renewal and fresh starts, and that applies to your self-care routine too. Whether you're a busy mom seeking moments of peace or someone who just wants to embrace the season with intention, these simple practices can help you reset, recharge, and refresh. Take time to nurture yourself, and enjoy the energy that spring brings—whether you’re managing family life or carving out time for your personal well-being.
