Spring may still be around the corner (up here in the mountains), but March has a way of whispering change. The days are getting longer, the air feels just a little softer, and nature is slowly beginning to wake up. It’s not quite the bloom of April or the buzz of summer, but that’s what I love about it—it’s a pause. A breath. A space to savor the slow moments and reset before the rush.
If you’re anything like me, the start of the year was go-go-go. Resolutions, planning, organizing, doing. But March offers a different kind of energy—a quiet invitation to slow down, tune in, and reconnect with what matters most.
Here’s how I’m embracing the season with a sustainable, intentional reset—and how you can, too.
🍃 Refresh Your Routines—Gently
Instead of waiting for the official spring clean, I like to ease into it. A few small shifts can feel so grounding right now:
- Swapping out heavier winter decor for light, natural textures (hello, linen and rattan)
- Going through one drawer, one closet, or one shelf at a time
- Opening the windows, lighting a candle, and letting fresh air and scent revive the space
This month, it’s not about overhauling everything. It’s about finding small, mindful ways to make your home and habits feel lighter.
☕ Make Your Mornings More Mindful
I’ve been trying to reclaim my mornings a little—stepping away from screens and diving into something slow and simple instead.
Lately that looks like:
- A warm mug of coffee or tea in silence
- A few pages of a feel-good book
- A quick gratitude list or journal entry
- Stepping outside for just five minutes to breathe
Even 10–15 minutes of quiet can shift the tone for the entire day.
🌎 Reconnect with Nature
March is the perfect time to get outside and watch the world change in real time. You don’t have to wait for full blooms—there’s beauty in the slow return of color, the softening of the ground, the songbirds coming back.
Take a walk without your phone. Sit on the porch with a cozy blanket. Start prepping your garden or even a few herb pots. Nature is the best reset there is—and it’s free, grounding, and always available. Jayson and I started up our daily hikes (now that it isn’t freezing!) and it’s giving me LIFE!
♻️ Simplify & Choose Sustainability
There’s something about this season that naturally calls for less. Fewer distractions. Fewer obligations. Fewer products.
It’s a great time to:
- Switch to eco-friendly household products (reusable towels, natural cleaners)
- Finish what you already have before buying more
- Declutter your digital space, too—clean out files, unsubscribe from emails, organize your phone
Simplicity and sustainability go hand in hand. When you slow down, you naturally consume more consciously.
🌷 Let This Be the Season of Slow
You don’t have to wait for a dramatic spring overhaul to feel refreshed. Let this in-between month be your gentle nudge to rest, reset, and realign.
Here’s to cozy mornings, cleaner spaces, longer walks, and saying yes to the moments that matter. 💛
