After months of being trapped inside because of the cold, Mother Nature has finally graced us with beautiful spring weather. Now that the weather is warm and the anticipation for summer has finally kicked in, spring fever has inevitably taken over. Because of the restlessness and excitement that spring fever is responsible for, it may be hard to concentrate on your responsibilities. You may be spending your days blowing off studying for finals or skipping your 10 a.m. class in an attempt to cure your restlessness. If you follow some of the tricks listed below, you should be able to cure spring fever.
1. Take a trip.
If you have an opportunity to go on a weekend getaway or even a short day trip, you should seize it. A change of scenery can get spring fever out of your system.
2. Clean/Organize
Take some time out of your day to do some spring cleaning. Although it may seem arduous at first, organizing can be therapeutic.
3. Eat a balanced diet.
Drinking plenty of water and eating fruits and vegetables can make you feel better no matter what problem you are experiencing.
4. Be aware that your body is in a state of transition.
When the weather becomes warm again body temperature goes up, blood pressure goes down, and serotonin (the “feel good” hormone) takes control. Give yourself time to adjust and be patient with yourself.
5. Exercise
Exercise is a great and productive way to release pent up energy.
6. Go outside
There’s no harm in getting some vitamin D and enjoying fresh air. Not only can it make you feel refreshed, but you can always multitask and do work outside. Also, getting back into your typical routine of bike riding, picnics, and other outdoorsy activities can help you readjust.
7. Do yoga or meditation
Yoga and meditation are famous for being effective calming practices.
8. Start a new project.
