Spring is considered a great period for a health and wellbeing holiday. After the cold and dreary winter months, spring brings a sense of renewal and revitalization. The blooming of nature, longer daylight hours and milder temperatures create an environment that is conducive to rejuvenation and restoring vitality. Spring brings longer days, more sunlight, and warmer temperatures. Spring is a season of balance, as the days and nights become equal in length during the spring equinox. Spring offers the opportunity to engage in various outdoor activities that promote physical health and wellbeing. Activities such as hiking, cycling, walking, gardening and practicing yoga or meditation in nature become more enjoyable during this season. Spring is a time when fresh, locally grown produce becomes more readily available. Fruits and vegetables like strawberries, asparagus, spinach and artichokes are abundant during this season. With the arrival of spring, many people experience a boost in energy levels and a renewed sense of motivation. Spring is often seen as a time of renewal and rebirth, about growth and fertility, abundance and the flourishing of life. It is often associated with a sense of hope, optimism and a brighter outlook on life. It can be seen as a time of creative inspiration, nurturing potential, and the manifestation of dreams and goals.
