Wanna Kick Some Ass? Touch Some Grass: Spring Wellness Reminders

Ahhhh, Spring… The birds are chirping. The flowers are blooming. Your inbox is exploding. And if one more person says “Q2 goals,” you miiiiight just ask for a Grippy Sock Vacation™.

But before you spiral into a caffeine-fueled doom scroll or throw your laptop into the nearest body of water, hear us out: Spring is not just a season—it’s an intervention that comes around every year, reminding you to snap out of it and reclaim your f*cking humanity. 

Nature is literally out here rebirthing herself (pop off, queen) in 4K HD, screaming “RESET!!!” while we’re hunched over our keyboards with our necks in terrible, definitely-not-ergonomic positions, one Slack notification away from going full feral.

Here’s the truth: If you wanna kick ass, you’ve gotta touch some grass.

Step outside. Breathe some air that wasn’t pre-circulated through your sad little HVAC system. Get some sun on your face before you forget what vitamin D is. Let your nervous system remember that you’re a human, not a skin sack that lives to crunch numbers and make deadlines (something we pride ourselves on recognizing).

Balance > Burnout.

Burnout isn’t a badge of honor. You don’t win anything for suffering silently until your eyeballs twitch. You wanna be sharp, focused, unstoppable? Then you need to recharge like your life depends on it—because it kinda does.

So, what’s on the Spring Survival Checklist for a hard-workin’ professional baddie like you?

• Meditation – Not just for monks and influencers. Meditation might seem a little crunchy on the surface, but it’s health benefits are actually backed by science. SLOW DOWN with intention and focus on breathing for five freaking minutes a day. You’ll thank yourself.
• Yoga or stretching – Yes, touching your toes counts. Even flopping over like a dying fish counts. Just move that bod. Namaste.
• Go outside – Connect with nature however you can. Walk barefoot. Listen to birds argue about worms. Reclaim your peace. And in case you needed hard evidence that going outside is GOOD FOR YOU, we came with receipts. Whatever you do, just don’t turn into this guy.
• Peace of mind – Schedule your joy the same way you schedule your meetings. If “out of office” feels like a fantasy, you need it even more than you think you do.

Our point? You can’t slay your goals if you’re emotionally dehydrated and spiritually constipated.

Let this season be your personal wake-up call. Step away from the spreadsheets. Unclench your jaw. Eat a vegetable (if you have to wash it down with a crispy IPA, we won’t judge). Basically, get back in touch with your bad self.

Spring is springing—and if the trees can bloom after looking dead all winter, so can you.
