Hey, Habit Thrivers, how has April been treating you so far?For some, it's been pretty dreary and cold - and, honestly, not very spring-like at all!Today, on episode #146 of the Habit Thrive Podcast, we're talking about April: The Messy Middle.We're going to explore habits and routines to help us embrace that in-between time, transitioning from winter to spring.This is the season of "almost".Almost thereAlmost bloomingAlmost readyYou may be even feeling it in your body:Heavy and sluggish in the morningsNot quite motivatedMaybe a little joy bubbling, but also a little resistanceA little longing.Welcome to the messy middle.So, how do we work with the seasonal change instead of against it?Rituals, habits and routines!1. A mindset ritual.Take a moment with your journal, and write yourself a little mindset mantra to remind yourself to rest, be present, and be patient with what is to come.2. A food ritual.Shift from heavy foods to lighter fare. Choose things that detox and refresh the body.3. A motivation ritual.Just move. Don't overthink it, and don't over-plan it. Just get up and dance! (or walk, or stretch...)4. A home ritual.Start small, and declutter that kitchen drawer or reorganize a shelf. Clear the space to make room for what is next!Remember: You are not the person you were yesterday, and you are not yet the person you will become tomorrow. You are in a sacred middle space. Give yourself some space to bloom!Love,Lorrie xoxoxMentioned in this episode:Get a Sneak Peek at my Spring & Summer Journal on MemberVaultTake the Banyan Botanicals Dosha QuizLoving the show?
