Spring has Sprung!

“April hath put a spirit of youth in everything"

William Shakespeare

Fragrant cherry blossoms line Vancouver streets

Aprilis, the Roman word for the fourth month of the year, is derived from a verb which means “to open”. In the Northern Hemisphere, trees begin to bloom and go on to flower. It’s no wonder that April is prized for rebirth.

We are a quarter of the way through the year already! Now is a good time to reflect back and check in on how 2019 has progressed so far.

Ask yourself:

Are you on track with your resolutions?

Where has your commitment waivered?

Even if you haven’t met the targets you were hoping to, it’s very important to check in with your successes. ‘What changes, even seemingly small ones, have you successfully implemented?’ Small changes, over time, amount to seismic shifts. Don’t discount the little adjustments you’ve made in your work and lifestyle.

Moving forward into this period of spring renewal, I have recommitted myself to physical exercise. My challenge and goal is to beat my record for hikes. My previous record was 52 hikes. A couple of injuries have set me back, but I feel rejuvenated and ready to hit the mountains.

I feel the positive effects of exercise profoundly through my day-to-day life. Various studies indicate that regular exercise helps reduce stress, improve your mood, decrease anxiety and alleviate the symptoms of depression. I know that when I am hiking regularly, my physical and mental health is much improved, which sends positive reverberations through my helationships and work life.

Take stock of the small improvements you’ve made this year and use energy of the longer days, the cherry blossoms and spring air to recommit yourself to some of your goals. And join me on the slopes for a visit and conversation at high altitude.

All My Very Best,

Holiday Corner

This month includes holidays that honour the people in our lives who don’t hear “thank you” enough...
