Spring is one of the seasons that naturally invites people to gather together outdoors. The new grass, the blooming flowers, the feel of the sun on bare skin! There’s something about the weather that puts everyone in a carefree, champagne-drinking kind of mood. Plus, we can all go out and have a barbecue—definitely a reason to host a culinary occasion!

2. Plant a garden
With the first sign of roses and daffodils, gardening season is upon us, and what better way to start than to prepare all your favorite gardening tools?

3. Watch the sunrise or sunset from your garden
Watching the sunrise and sunset is awe-inspiring, and it helps you feel more energized, which is probably why it’s recommended to improve one’s mental health. Nature is the healer to the soul, so why not allot a space in your home to get an unobstructed view of the sun’s beauty? While you’re at it, this is also a great time to invest in energy-giving activities such as practicing meditation, reading books, journaling, or writing poems.
