Recharging in March: A Fresh Start (Even If You Don’t Quite Feel It Yet)

Purple flower

March has a way of surprising us. One day feels bright and full of momentum, and the next feels like winter pressing the pause button again. If you’ve noticed yourself bouncing between energized and exhausted, motivated and muddled—you’re are not alone.

This time of year often brings a quiet mix of emotions. Maybe you’re feeling hopeful as the days get longer. Maybe you’re still fighting off the winter slump. Or maybe you’re somewhere in between, doing your best to keep up with work, family, routines, and the unexpected.

Wherever you are emotionally right now—it’s valid. And it’s normal.

The good news? March offers a natural chance to refresh. Not with big, dramatic changes, but with small shifts that help you feel lighter, clearer, and more optimistic as spring approaches.

How You Can Lift Your Mood This Month

 

  • Lean into brighter moments.
    Even tiny glimmers of sunlight or a warm day can give you a mental boost. Notice them. Enjoy them. Let them shift your energy.
  • Let yourself feel motivated… or not.
    Some days will feel naturally productive; some won’t. You don’t have to “force” your momentum. It grows when you give yourself room to breathe.
  • Name the good things.
    A small win, a kind interaction, your favorite morning drink—these little moments help your mind shift toward positivity.
  • Connect with others.
    A quick check‑in can brighten both your days, chances are others may be experiencing the same in‑between energy.

March Tip of the Month

 

  • Create one “micro‑moment of joy” each day.
    This can be a song you love, a 10‑minute walk, a warm drink, or sitting in the sunshine. What matters is consistency. Small daily joy adds up faster than you think.
