Spring energy — this season is about habits
Spring is not just about having more energy.
It is about what you do with it.
More specifically:
it is about habits.
Not the hyper-optimized type of habits.
You know the vibe:
waking up early on a Sunday morning and organizing your entire life to the second for the whole week.
Meals.
Activities.
Workouts.
Appointments.
Even moments of rest and pleasure perfectly scheduled in advance.
If you are this type of person:
bless your heart.
I am not.
Unfortunately for me:
life is lifing.
Unexpected things happen.
Plans change.
People need things.
Energy fluctuates.
And honestly?
I actually enjoy a little bit of unpredictability in my life.
If you recognize yourself in this even a little:
this post is for you.
Because Spring energy is not about controlling everything.
It is about allocating your time and energy purposefully.
Meaning:
understanding that you cannot:
be everywhere
do everything
give the same intensity to every part of your life
And this is where choices begin.
What you eat.
What you drink.
What you do.
Who you spend time with.
What you accept.
What you refuse.
All these decisions slowly accumulate until:
you reach decision fatigue.
And eventually—
you fall back into your Winter season:
low energy, no bandwidth, operating on autopilot.
So here is another framework to help you decide where your energy should go.
Yes.
We are asking questions again.
I know.
But this time they are useful.
First question
Will this decision make my life easier:
now
and in the long term?
And yes—
I can already hear the little trolls in the back asking:
“Does ordering a pizza help me now and in the future?”
Well…
No.
Now that I have your attention:
here comes the second question.
Second question
What do I feel when thinking about this task?
Does it drain me already?
And if yes:
why?
Because there is a difference between:
“I don’t want to do this.”
And:
“My body genuinely does not have the capacity for this right now.”
One is resistance.
The other is exhaustion.
Learn the difference.
It changes everything.
Third question — the trap
This one requires honesty.
Real honesty.
It is called:
the Five Whys.
When you are facing an important decision or recurring issue:
ask yourself why five times.
Not mechanically.
Consciously.
Every answer should take you one layer deeper.
Let’s use the pizza example.
Why do I want pizza?
Because I’m hungry and it’s fast.
Why do I need something fast?
Because I have nothing prepared and I’m hungry now.
Why do I have nothing prepared?
Because I didn’t eat properly earlier and did not plan dinner.
Why?
Because work, responsibilities, kids, exhaustion, life…
And eventually—
if you are honest enough—
you arrive at the actual problem.
Not the symptom.
The root.
And once you see the root:
you can course correct.
If you want to.
Because this post is not about questioning every single thing you do.
That would be exhausting too.
It is about questioning the things that repeatedly impact your life.
Closing line
Spring is not about controlling yourself perfectly.
It is about learning where your energy actually goes.
