March: The Real Start to the New Year

You made it through January - the trial month of the year. February? A weird in-between space where winter lingers but motivation starts to dwindle. But March? March is where the real new year begins.

The days are longer, the air is fresher, and you can actually feel the energy shift. This is the month where hibernation ends and action starts. If January felt sluggish and February a bit meh, don’t stress - this is your real reset.

Why March Feels Like the Real Beginning

Spring Awakening - With the Spring Equinox around the corner, nature is waking up, and so are we. Lighter mornings, more sunshine, and a sense of renewal make everything feel more possible.
Energy Boost - The sluggishness of winter starts to fade. More daylight means more vitamin D, which means better mood, better sleep, and better motivation.
Goodbye, Pressure - The ‘new year, new me’ pressure has fizzled out. Now, it’s about sustainable changes, not unrealistic resolutions.

How to Make March Your Fresh Start

Get Outside – Sunlight, fresh air, and movement are the ultimate energy boosters. Swap indoor workouts for outdoor walks, runs, or just sitting in a park.
Spring Clean Your Habits – Shake off winter sluggishness. Revisit your routines and ask: What’s working? What’s not? Swap out things that feel draining for habits that energise you.
Nourish for Energy – Lighter, fresher meals naturally feel better this time of year. Start adding more seasonal foods like leafy greens, asparagus, and citrus fruits to boost digestion and energy.
Move with the Seasons – Winter was about slowing down, but now’s the time to bring back movement that excites you. Try a new class, dance around your kitchen, or go on longer walks.
Declutter Mind & Space – Physical clutter creates mental clutter. Give your space (and your mind) a reset by clearing out what no longer serves you.

The Takeaway

March is your second chance at a fresh start, but this time, with more daylight, better energy, and a little less pressure. If you didn’t hit the ground running in January, don’t worry - you weren’t supposed to. Now’s the time to step into the version of yourself you actually want to be, in a way that feels good, natural, and sustainable.

So, deep breath – this is your new year. How do you want it to look?
