Hello March! I have been waiting for you!

I start each year with a glittered and bedazzled vision board that details my hopes and dreams for the next twelve months and beyond. I stare at my beautiful masterpiece for most of January and then avoid looking at the visual representation of all the ways that I am failing at life for most of February.

March is different. There is something magical that happens in March.

March is a month of new beginnings. The days are longer, and the sun begins to shine a bit brighter. We get glimpses of warmer spring days to come, and the brown hue of the world starts to give way to vibrant green. The transition from the cold and dreary months of winter to the promise and hope of spring boosts energy and motivation, making it a great time to reassess goals and move forward with intention and excitement.

If you're looking to make a fresh start in March, here are a few tips to help you get started:

Embrace the changing season.

The coming weeks and months are a time of renewal and growth. Take time to appreciate the changes happening around you. Go for a walk, start an herb garden, and stop occasionally to notice the budding trees and flowers. Embracing the changing season can help you feel refreshed and rejuvenated.

Reflect on the first two months of the year.

Before setting your March goals, reflect on the targets you set for January and February. Did you hit them? If not, why not? Were your goals too ambitious, or did life get too busy? Were you consistent in your efforts, or did you lose focus somewhere along the way? Be honest with yourself so you can learn from your experiences and adjust your goals accordingly.

Set new goals for March.

Choose achievable, specific, and measurable goals and write them down so you can track your progress. If you have a larger project that you want to achieve by the end of the year, consider breaking it down into smaller goals that you can work on in March. This will help you stay focused and motivated, and you'll be able to see progress along the way. Don’t forget to celebrate your wins as you check items off your list.

Try something new.

March is a great time to try something new. Maybe you have been thinking of trying a new hobby, workout routine, or recipe. Stepping out of your routine and away from your comfort zone will help you discover new interests and passions.

Let go of the past.

As you embrace your fresh start, you must also let go of the past. This might mean forgiving someone who has hurt you, releasing negative emotions or beliefs, or simply decluttering your home and letting go of items that no longer serve you. Letting go can help you move forward with a sense of lightness and freedom.
