6 Easy Steps to Embrace Self-Improvement this Spring
For those of you who live in climates such as mine where winter seems to drag on for over half of the year, spring is a sort of savior. As the temperature changes and we can go outside without our faces hurting, we feel renewed and ready.

The Only Thing I'm Trying To Change Is How I Think About Myself
Spring is a powerful season. Mother nature reawakens. What you thought was dead is reborn. The sun shines a little brighter, the flowers bloom, and you experience the liveliness of the Earth. Spring is also the perfect time to recreate and reawaken yourself.

Your Main Competition
Personally, I've always been a very competitive individual. From the social basketball games I once played throughout my childhood and early twenties, to playing board games with the family, I always wanted to win. Let's be honest though, no one likes losing in anything. We know that winning always brings a hell of a lot more enjoyment and satisfaction. Despite my constant hunger to win, especially in the basketball and ten pin bowling competitions I played in, I was always gracious in defeat also, acknowledging that my opponent was just too good on the day. There would be many a time where I believed I tried my absolute hardest, yet was outplayed, so I walked away feeling content with my performance. Then there were times where I would shake hands graciously with my opponent, yet walk away feeling extremely frustrated and disappointed, because I believed I had underperformed, underachieved, and was well below my best. It's not that I wasn't trying, or that I couldn't be bothered, I just failed to execute effectively on the day. I know myself, and many others, we are all quick to judge professional athletes and sportspeople, when our team or the individual whom we are barracking for, ends up losing or underperforming. We seem to forget that despite the fact they are professionals within the sport that they play, they are also human. Even the most accomplished humans in the world have days where they fail to reach the heights they are capable of. It's just a simple fact that we can't be at our very best every day of our life, but having said that, we can at least spend every day always striving to be at our very best though.

No Comparison
No comparison-Part 1 “But, there's looks cool.” “Wow, maybe I should have done it that way.” When you accomplish something great yourself, do these questions start streaming through your head when you start looking through the work of others? I think in asking this question, I can say as humans we have all struggled with this from time to time. Before we get into this, I have one more question. How did you deal with each situation you found yourself in where you were comparing your work to another?

Take It From Me
I strive to always push myself, when, and only when the moment calls for it. Other than that, I tend to be a little bit lazy. It’s a natural art form that I strive for. I never asked to be lazy I just knew it worked for me. I bet you are wondering why does being lazy help with spring cleaning? One, your able to not hold any expectations too risky to stress your current mental health. Two, Spring time is all about renewal or rebirth. Why go through such trouble to clean and change things you have already made yourself comfortable with through fall and winter? It’s better to leave well enough alone. Take it from me. I am writing this passage for you and I only plan on doing the bare minimum of 600 words because over exerting myself for a competition feels like more work than I am willing to do. Plus, I don’t want to stress you (the reader) to have to endure any long passage because I too want you to be lazy with me.

The Real Meaning of 'Seize the Day'
Seizing the day or ‘Carpe diem’ is an oft-quoted Latin phrase that has become as popular as often as it has been misunderstood. Seizing the day is definitely a principle that I stand by for a couple of reasons, but I don’t agree with people who say that seizing the day means to ignore the future or not to think past today’s goals or tasks. You seize the day when you can plan for how you are going to seize not just today but tomorrow as well.

Tidying Up the Mental Mess
Spring is the season of new beginnings and fresh starts. As the days get brighter and warmer, we start looking to lighten our load. Spring becomes the chance to hit the refresh button. We turn to our overwhelming closets and disorganized drawers to begin clearing out the heavy layers we no longer need.
