Saying ‘Yes’ to More This Spring

Sometimes, yes just feels better.

The sun is shining, the birds are chirping and it’s been so nice outside that I got a teeny tiny sunburn on my nose yesterday. That can mean only one thing.

Spring is upon us.

As someone who deals with seasonal depression (and got hit quite hard this year), the spring always feels like a mini-rebirth to me. And it always catches me by surprise.

Just when I start to believe the loop in my head, I come out of the darkness and feel more like myself. I start laughing more. I start smiling more. I sleep better. I take better care of myself. I feel more equipped to take care of myself.

The spring for me is a time to regroup on my priorities, when the winter had me just trying to survive. The spring brings possibilities that I can never see when we’re in the winter season. It feels like anything and everything is possible.

With the new season comes a new season of work. Which I know sounds ironic considering I’m not technically employed right now.

But I’m working on Tiny Ambitions, starting my own social media agency for artists, trying to find a full time job, and working on myself.

All of which, when combined, add up to quite a lot of work (despite the lack of regular pay check).

As I enter this new season, I am focused on saying yes, rather than no this spring. Yes is what I need more of. I need more abundance, more joy, and more fun.

Here’s what I’m saying yes to this spring.
