Spring is a great time to change your life for the better. Even if the temperature outside is still below freezing and there is snow, daylight hours are noticeably increasing, the sun appears more and more often, and we are looking forward to warm summer days, country trips, picnics and holidays. All this inspires renewal and gives strength for positive changes. We invite you to try five simple challenges that will help you use the energy of spring effectively.

Laughter prolongs life

Consciously find fun, humorous, and humorous moments every day for 30 days. Sources of laughter for you might come from watching a sitcom or movie, or listening to an album or podcast. You can also go to a live performance, comedy performance or show by comedy artists. If you are a literature lover, read the books of authors who are known for their bright, lively and humorous language. Do not miss a single day, because in addition to all this, video platforms with a huge number of funny videos, recordings and programs of the Stand Up genre are always at hand. Don’t forget to forward your favorite memes and video links to your family and friends. By the way, our ironic Viber sticker packs “Capybaras are talking” and “Mice are talking” will come in handy to raise the mood in chats. They will also help maintain contact with people with whom regular communication is not always possible. By the end of the month, you won’t be able to help but notice how much your stress level has decreased and your mood has improved.

Healthy sleep means productive wakefulness

Set yourself the task of developing healthy habits that will ensure healthy sleep within a month. All experts agree that it is an important factor in terms of health and productivity. Always go to bed at the same time, no later than 22-23 hours, in order to use the deep phase of sleep, which is most beneficial for the body in the first half of the night, for rest and recovery. Sleep in a well-ventilated room with an air temperature of 18-21 °C. It is important to remember and follow the 6/30 rule: Do not drink caffeine-containing beverages less than 6 hours before the end of the waking period, stop watching TV and use devices and devices that emit blue light for 30 or better yet 60 minutes. before bedtime.

Free your mind – take notes

Psychologists recommend journaling, morning pages, or other types of regular entries. This helps the mind to free itself from chaotic worries, organize thoughts, consider and systematize tasks that have not yet been created. For example, try writing down everything that comes to your mind for 15 minutes every day for two weeks or a month, without trying to organize your thoughts in some way. You can write it by hand in a personal notebook, or type it into notes or instant messengers on your phone or computer. You can write about things that bother or discourage you, about things that interest you and seem promising, about dreams and plans for the future. The important thing is to put everything that’s going on in your head on paper or in electronic format. Many who complete this challenge note an increase in attention and mood, as well as an increase in productivity.

Digital detox against increased anxiety

Usually such a detox involves complete rejection of the use of any digital devices for a predetermined period of time. But for most of us, deciding on such exceptional measures is difficult, if not impossible. Therefore, it is enough to try to partially close yourself off from digital life for a month. The positive impact of such a challenge will also be noticeable. First, turn off notifications and push messages from news channels, social networks and online stores, especially if you visit them out of habit. Also turn off non-alarm clock sounds and notifications on all devices.

Put your phone aside while working or spending time with your loved ones. Give yourself three periods during the day to check your emails and respond to letters, phone calls and messages. You won’t miss an important call if you use the caller ID feature. By the way, this free option appeared in Viber messenger (on Android) not so long ago. These simple actions, made habitual, will help you get rid of anxiety and stay calm. You may want to maintain this digital hygiene in the future.

Conquering the passion for shopping with excitement and rewards

This challenge will be useful for those who want to deal with such a habit as spontaneous buying. At the same time, we are not talking about mandatory restrictions, this can be done in a game format with elements of excitement. You can plan more time for this task, for example during the spring months. So, every time you make an important purchase, allow 48 hours to make your final decision. And in any case, when you refuse a purchase, put the money you saved into a separate account, for example. To increase motivation, set an amount you want or can save by the summer and strive for it, then you can spend it, for example, on a summer holiday.

In the spring, as at any other time of the year, it is good to have an interesting and necessary source of information at hand. The Fashion Vibes has its own channel on Viber messenger. Inside you will find many more useful tips, news about famous people, fashion and beauty materials and much more.
