Time to spring clean your wellbeing! We’ll start by decluttering your daily routine and welcoming new, healthy habits to add some freshness to your outlook on life and enhance your mental and physical health. Perfume brand, Gold Series, share five easy ways to put a spring in your step:
- Add some zest to your life
Need a morning energy boost to get you going? Forget about coffee and rather grab a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. All that vitamin C will help strengthen the immune system and detoxify the body, as well as promote blood circulation, and lower high blood pressure. Tip: The smell of citrus helps to eliminate emotional stress and boosts your mood for up to 30 minutes….so take a good deep breath before you drink up. - Show off your moves
Use any opportunity to dance, whether it’s while you’re alone in an elevator or strolling along a quiet street. When no one is looking, there is something tremendously liberating about letting loose. Yes, you will momentarily appear foolish but it’ll bring a smile to your dial. Tip: Dancing has been proven to have stress-reducing and mental health benefits…and you’re burning some calories while you are at it. - Stop and smell the roses…seriously
It might sound like a cliche, but taking a moment out of your rushed day to just stop, take in your surroundings and appreciate the beauty of nature will do wonders for your mental health. You truly ‘learn’ to have a deeper sense of appreciation by taking the time to stop and smell the roses. Tip: The scent of flowers can trigger mood-enhancing chemicals in your brain.
- Spritz it up
Complete your get-ready routine with a spritz of a beautiful, fresh fragrance to set the tone for the day. Opt for floral and citrus scents to lift your spirits and help you feel less stressed. With hints of orange, jasmine, vanilla, Serendipity Perfume Spray by Gold Series is the perfect pick-me-up. Not only do you feel good when you smell good, but you also feel much more confident. Tip: Spritz your perfume onto your pulse points such the chest, abdomen and the wrists. These spots help your fragrance last longer on your body. - Go for a wellness walk
Nothing is more enjoyable at this time of year than taking a sunset walk. Put your phone away, park the car, and just take a wellness stroll to spend some time making a mental note of all the things you are grateful for. Tip: Walking provides the best of both worlds – the physical benefits of exercise while also boosting your emotional well-being.
