When you made your new year's resolutions this last January, did any of them include any steps to becoming happier and leading a more fulfilling life? While doing so may not necessarily be achieved overnight, there are several things you can do this coming spring that can set you on the road to that destination.

1. Make A List Of Fun Spring And Summer Activities

The first step to getting to a happier place is to get into the habit of fun routines and meaningful activities you'd love being a part of. They don't necessarily have to be big ones. Maybe planning on starting your mornings off with jogs down nature trails where you can see spring in full bloom is a good place to start. But maybe you'd also love to attend a local farmer's market or spring festival where fun and cheap family events take place. Or maybe this year you'd love to be a part of something like a peer organized horticulture club or social meetup event. It probably won't take that long to come up with a few small or large ideas to get you on your way.

2. Make Some Time To Spring Clean Your House

One fulfilling thing to start once the weather turns warmer is a spring cleaning project. Beyond the usual kitchen and bathroom cleaning and carpet vacuuming, you can undertake other cleaning activities. You can open up windows that have been shut all winter and air out your home, borrow carpet cleaning equipment and eliminate odors and remove stains, clean upholstery, draperies, and dust from wooden furniture and cabinets. Spring cleaning is also a good time to go through your desk drawers and file cabinets to find and shred documents you no longer need and make room for new ones. Just be careful not to lose important ones.

3. Consider Outdoor Activities Like Gardening Or Landscaping

While it does require getting your hands dirty, activities like gardening and landscaping can be very fulfilling when complete. But even more so, they can also bump the value of your home up a bit. Think about what you could do to your backyard with a little bit of stonework, walkways, flower beds, backyard ponds and even vegetable gardens. You can also get family members involved in this to both assist you and learn how to do it with you.

4. Devote Some Special Time For Self Care

Sometimes you need to put some time aside for yourself not only for personal fitness, but also to relax and make sure you're not unnecessarily stressed out. One activity that may help out with this is yoga, or variations of it that can help you feel better afterwards. Or perhaps you could set aside time for longer relaxing bubble baths that have scented candles, CBD bath bombs, and soap that works wonders on the skin. Even setting aside a little time in your day for power naps might help you feel perfectly refreshed after.

5. Devote Time For Other Personal Spring Cleaning

Along with your basic routine, you may want to make some life changes to make everything better. Maybe you need to look at your relationships and decide you're going to devote more time to your spouse to make your love life more fulfilling. Perhaps you realize you need to spend more time with your children, or you want to mend broken relationships with parents or coworkers. This may be the hardest step to take since it can take swallowing pride, but it can go a long way to personal fulfillment.

Basically, becoming a better you can start by adding a few new tasks that take dedication but can be fun and fulfilling. Just start with small steps and make your progression from there.
