TreesToday marks the beginning of spring – a time of renewal, rejuvenation, and looking forward to the summer ahead.  Sante Spa at Bear Mountain offers five ways to make the most of the season and get ready for everything summer has to offer.

1)  Get Outside
As the weather turns warmer our thoughts naturally turn to the great outdoors. Now is the time to plan your garden, hike the trails at East Sooke Park or admire the tide pools at Botanical Beach. A 2009 study from the University of Rochester found that spending as little as ten minutes outside can have a positive effect on feelings of wellness and vitality.

2)  Celebrate the Earth
Consider what you can do to lessen your footprint. Little changes to conserve energy and reduce waste can go a long way. Try hanging your clothes to dry, bringing a reusable travel mug to your favourite coffee shop, or refreshing your wardrobe at a second-hand store.

3)  Let Go
Spring is an ideal time to reevaluate your life and let go of the aspects of your life that may no longer be working as they should. Perhaps it’s time to cut ties with a toxic friend, explore a career change or relocate to a different neighborhood.

4)  Nurture Your Spirit
Taking the time to care is rejuvenating. Spend some time with an old friend, paint, put on an old CD you haven’t listened to in years, or try one of our signature spa treatments.

5)  Rethink What You Eat
After a winter of potlucks, baked goods and parties now is the time to bring our focus back to a diet that focuses on the basics our bodies require. Replace pop with herbal teas, try fresh squeezed juices and be sure to make time for breakfast. Grandma was right – it is the most important meal of the day!
