Top Tips for Keeping a Positive Attitude in the Summer

The nights are growing lighter, and I understand how difficult it is to get over the winter blues. So I've compiled a list of helpful hints to help you maintain your mental health and well-being during the spring months. I hope these suggestions will help you feel empowered and motivated to be positive.

Before or after work/school, take your child/children/pet (if you have one) for a stroll. I began to notice the change of seasons in the song of the birds, the brighter mornings, and the temperature variations. It makes me happy because it reminds me that change is on the way.

2. Advance in garden projects

Last summer, people spent a lot of time gardening, and I wished I could have spent that time enjoying the sun instead of digging and doing things that I could have done in the spring! Invest in some warm clothing and spend some time in the garden. Others can help with digging, planting, and cleaning. Make your space your tiny beam of sunshine, regardless of its size. If you don't have access to a garden, consider constructing flower boxes or starting seeds in pots for your windowsill.

3. Think ahead and organize some fun activities for the next few months

Unpredictability and constant change are difficult for everyone to deal with. This is perfectly typical, but the lack of preparation makes me unhappy, and I need something to anticipate. I started thinking about how I could schedule things that are under my control so that I wouldn't have to worry about them being cancelled or postponed:

•  In the garden, there's an Easter egg hunt
• With friends/cousins, take the Zoom Kids Quiz
• Afternoons of pampering for you and your child(ren)
• In the garden, roast marshmallows
• With your child or children, plan and prepare an afternoon tea
• Take some springtime shots while out walking and finding treasures.

4. Embrace the change of season

Spring cleaning is a good idea. Open the windows, turn on the music, and have a good time spring cleaning with the kids. Take a walk and listen for birdsong and flowers.

5. Take care

I'm still trying to be kind to myself and practice self-care and self-love. Giving yourself time allows you to be a better parent since you have more mental space to attend to your child's or children's needs. Self-care does not have to take up more time than you are willing to devote. It could be a five-minute cup of tea with mindfulness exercises or a few pages of a book. If you have an hour to spare, you may relax in the tub, organize your fantasy football team, or paint your nails.

6. Do not suffer in silence

Life can be difficult at any time. I'm glad to say that I have an incredible group of pals with whom I know I can call and talk to when I'm lonely or sad. I understand that speaking out and admitting that you are having difficulties is difficult, but I am confident that it will be worthwhile. If you need to talk and ask for help, contact a helpdesk or phone support. Please don't go through this alone.

Parenting is one of the most difficult tasks in the world, and you can do it alone. It's fine to be frightened and overwhelmed, but it's not okay to feel alone. When you need assistance, ask for it. I'm not ashamed to admit that asking for assistance makes me feel more powerful. Many individuals will be familiar with all of the things you care about, so let's form a community of people who can communicate and support one another.


Last but not least, I like daffodils and believe they are the epitome of spring. There's nothing like a vase of flowers to brighten your day. Even better, they are inexpensive to obtain.
