I love celebrating the seasons. It’s the perfect way to be mindful of the moment and to ground yourself to the present. Having a seasonal bucket list also helps us to be grateful for the season that we’re currently in. Studies have shown that being grateful has all sorts of practical benefits, not to mention the spiritual ones. And so, we take this trivial sounding Spring Bucket List and raise it to the level of profound spiritual and psychological importance.

that feels like spring
Go on a picnic
Revamp my workouts
Go to an art festival
Read a book that feels like spring
Try a new spring recipe

For my list, I tried to only add things that were free or minimally expensive. I love the idea of fresh flowers in my home, but buying them isn’t really in the budget at the moment. I have a few different spring-colored nail polishes already in my collection. I’ve also stashed away a couple candles that I feel suit warmer weather, so it will be really exciting to break those out. Perhaps I’ll do so while reading a spring-feeling book I’ll pick up from the library.
