\"Trees\"<\/a>Today marks the beginning of spring – a time of renewal, rejuvenation, and looking forward to the summer ahead. \u00a0Sante Spa at Bear Mountain<\/a> offers five ways to make the most of the season and get ready for everything summer has to offer.<\/p>\n

1)\u00a0 Get Outside
\nAs 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.<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0 Celebrate the Earth
\nConsider 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.<\/p>\n

3)\u00a0 Let Go
\nSpring 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\u2019s time to cut ties with a toxic friend, explore a career change or relocate to a different neighborhood.<\/p>\n

4)\u00a0 Nurture Your Spirit
\nTaking the time to care is rejuvenating. Spend some time with an old friend, paint, put on an old CD you haven\u2019t listened to in years, or try one of our signature spa treatments.<\/p>\n

5)\u00a0 Rethink What You Eat
\nAfter 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 \u2013 it is the most important meal of the day!<\/p>\n
