Why You Should Embrace ‘Redecorating’ Your Life Every Season
The urge to start redecorating doesn’t just happen when you’re spring cleaning — it re-emerges in each new season. Spring brings fresh blooms into your home, while in summer, you install outdoor lanterns for fun fiestas. Fall brings the need for cosy candles, and winter ushers in fairy lights that’ll illuminate long nights.
At the surface level, you just change decor each season, but on a deeper level, you embrace a lifestyle reset.
These seasonal shifts provide us with the opportunity to “redecorate” all aspects of our lives: mind, body, and spirit.
As you shift your space, your mindset will change when you surround yourself with the colours, textures, and pieces that represent your ideal mood. Simply rearranging furniture and decluttering your space can make you feel at peace. But don’t just redecorate to calm your mind. Put both your home’s aesthetic and your seasonal goals on a vision board, and prominently display the board in your home. Every time you walk by your vision board, you’ll remind your subconscious that you’re serious about the new life that you envision for yourself.
Soon enough, you’ll notice a chain reaction — all of the little changes that you made will leave you feeling better physically. As you let change into your life, you may lean into eating seasonally and enjoy the fresh, juicy fruit available in the warmer months and the hearty vegetables that’ll fill you up in the colder months. You could even feel motivated to get daily workouts in and get enough beauty sleep nightly, too.
With every new season also comes the opportunity to connect to your spirituality.
You may celebrate fertility during Ostara or honour your ancestors during The Day of the Dead or All Souls’ Day. To make each spiritual practice your own, meditate on the new season’s symbolic focus and what it means to you. You can bring symbols of the season — like eggs for spring, sun for summer, owls for fall, and mistletoe for winter — into your space as well. When you do, you’ll feel ready to embrace the challenges of the latest season of your life.
In life, we constantly experience physical, emotional, and spiritual changes. With every season we live through, we also discover rebalance and transformation. Redecorating both your surroundings and your life will help keep you in tune with life’s constant evolution. This season and every season, give yourself permission to reset and grow.
