Spring is officially in bloom, and with that comes a sense of renewal and fresh beginnings. The new, warm season is the perfect opportunity to embrace a clean slate and positive energy. Whether it’s decluttering your home, prioritizing health and wellness, or taking a step back for some relaxation and self-care, now is a great time to start anew and focus on things that bring you joy!

This spring, I have challenged myself to prioritize overall wellness. This means, I am striving to put in extra energy towards eating well and consuming whole foods, remaining consistent with exercise, going for more walks, spending quality time with loved ones, and focusing on what brings me overall happiness and health. Especially when dealing with an autoimmune disease, I’ve found that it’s so important to put energy into enriching aspects of life: nutrition, health, loving connections, and happiness in the small things. With that being said, I have decided to make my personal challenge a fun one by creating my own spring bingo card!  

What are spring bingo cards?

Spring bingo cards are a fun twist on the classic game of Bingo, designed to celebrate the fresh, new season, while also making goals more achievable. Instead of numbers, each square on the card is filled with activities, experiences, and tasks that I’d like to accomplish this spring.

I encourage you all to create your own spring bingo card this season! Wondering what kind of activities to include? Here are some ideas to get you started:

• Get outdoors:
  • Go for a nature walk or hike
  • Have a picnic in the park
  • Try birdwatching
  • Watch the sunrise or sunset
  • Take a bike ride around the neighborhood
• Embrace spring cleaning:
  • Organize your closet and donate unused items
  • Tidy up the garden or plant new flowers
  • Declutter your workspace
  • Refresh your home décor with spring-inspired colors or scents
• Explore new hobbies:
  • Start a new DIY project
  • Learn how to bake a seasonal recipe (think fresh fruit pies or cookies)
  • Try a new fitness class or outdoor sport (yoga in the park, anyone?)
  • Start a nature journal or photography project
• Reconnect with others:
  • Plan a spring BBQ or potluck with friends and family
  • Volunteer for a local community event or charity
  • Host a spring game night or brunch
• Celebrate the season:
  • Visit a local flower garden or botanical garden
  • Attend a farmer’s market
  • Create a spring playlist of your favorite songs

I hope this activity brings you joy to your season! Please feel free to share what items you put on your bingo card in the comments!
