8 Easy Ways to Spring Clean Your Entire Wellness Routine in One Day - The Everygirl

While our homes are top of mind and get all the TLC when it comes to spring cleaning (if you’re like me, you’ve already purged your closet and deep-cleaned your bathroom), there is another area in our lives that could use a refresh with the change in seasons: our wellness routines. Just like we declutter our space with the transition from winter to spring, tidying up our daily rituals means making room for renewed energy and recommitting to healthy habits. New Year’s resolutions may be a distant memory, but with some simple yet effective tweaks—from how you move your body to how you manage your finances—you’ll be well on your way to Marie Kondo status (wellness version). Keep reading for a guide on how to spring clean every category of your wellness routine to hit reset and feel lighter, better, and more energetic.
The first thing to upgrade is how you’re working out. No matter your workout preferences, you can always challenge yourself by switching it up to avoid getting into a rut. Review your current routine and consider what’s serving you (what workouts do you get excited about, or what helps you stay consistent?) and what’s leaving you wanting more (what workouts are not giving you more energy, or what mindsets are holding you back?).
When we’re in hibernation mode during winter, our bodies crave comfort food and heartier meals, but with the shift to warmer weather, you’re probably starting to seek fresher and lighter fare. Tune out the voices that tell you to go on a cleanse, eat only foods deemed “clean,” and restrict the foods you love. While dietary needs look different based on factors like age, activity levels, and health concerns, there are a few tried-and-true pillars of nutrition that go for everyone when it comes to tuning up your diet:

When you think of your wellness routine, your spending habits and balancing your checkbook probably aren’t even on your radar. But financial health translates to physical health. According to a 2024 survey, 73 percent of Americans consider finances the #1 stressor in life. But exercising the right money moves can make all the difference in your financial wellness, reducing the amount of stress in your life and giving you the freedom to enjoy the little luxuries (like that fancy gym membership).
First, there was the Mel Robbins morning routine. Then came the “opening shift.” If TikTok is good for one thing, it’s the major inspo for kickstarting your day. Whether you’re a morning person or a don’t-talk-to-me-until-I’ve-had-my-coffee riser, what you do in the first moments after getting up sets the tone for the rest of your waking hours.
Many of us—39 percent to be exact—are not getting enough beauty sleep. And the harsh reality is not clocking in the recommended seven to nine hours of rest overnight can be a detriment to your health, even if you eat well and exercise regularly. On the other hand, when you have consistent nights of sound slumber, you have better brain function, improved emotional regulation, a healthy immune system and weight, and a decreased risk of developing chronic diseases.
Don’t forget the “self” in self-care: Reflect on your current self-care practices, and ask yourself if they‘re actually filling your cup. Connect with what your body needs RN and adjust them accordingly. Whatever self-care looks like for you, it will fluctuate every day. Let’s say working out or meditating is your non-negotiable mode of self-care, and you carve out time each morning for it. You may wake up some mornings and not feel it; taking a nap or getting together with friends may actually give you more TLC. Do what you can in the season you’re in—literally and figuratively.
Every time I see my weekly screen time pop up on my iPhone, I feel personally attacked; it feels as if I’m getting the proverbial tsk-tsk. Between Zoom-ing, Instagram scrolling, and exploring your FYP, we spend more time on our phones than ever, but spring is the perfect time for a mini digital detox.
For those of you who have FOMO, this one is for you. With warmer days on the horizon, it may be tempting to pack your calendar with social events, but think about whether you’re spreading yourself too thin with too many commitments.
