Springtime is all about rebirth and rejuvenation, so let’s focus on ways to improve your inner psyche. Time to take a pause and reboot: Here are 5 things to accomplish this week. These simple tasks will uplift your spirit and leave you feeling more organized, healthy, energetic, and ready to take on life with a refreshed mindset.

4. Cook a healthy meal

The act of cooking will not only relax you, but you will totally feel a sense of accomplishment when you take a bite into your yummy, nutritious concoction.
5. Do something nice for someone else
Pin It!There is no better feeling than spreading the love with someone who may need a little sunshine on her rainy day. Something as simple as sending a sweet text to a old friend can go a long way. Tell a friend she looks beautiful, surprise a stranger by picking up the tab at a coffee shop, or simply open a door for someone. Any random act of kindness will no doubt boost your mood as much as the recipient’s.
