There’s nothing better than going out for a walk in the countryside at this time of year, with the sun beating down on your back!
Put away your phone, ditch the car, and just go for a walk to admire the blossom on the trees and the plentiful daffodils which are rearing their heads!
You will feel like a whole new person after just a short time in the outdoors, with studies supporting the beneficial effects of reconnecting with nature, too.

If there’s a sure fire way to make you feel more positive and refreshed, it would be to thoroughly spring clean your home! This may seem like a super boring and time-consuming job to start with, but imagine how amazing it will be once everything in your home is clean, organised and tidy!
Start with your wardrobe – go through everything and either throw away or give to charity anything which you don’t need or wear anymore. You need to make way for that new Spring/Summer wardrobe anyway!
Now be sure to go through and clean each room from top to bottom – dust, hoover, disinfect and mop! Just stick the radio on and get on with it – it will be worth it!
4. Invest In A New Wardrobe
