Give yourself a spring makeover

Revamp your style

Apply seasonal de-cluttering principles to your personal style. Ask yourself if your clothes really reflect who you want to be. If you're not sure what suits you, hire some help. Fashion stylist, Sarah Cosgrove, offers in-home consultations to liberate you from your wardrobe horrors. She explains: 'Spring is the time to replace some tired old basics with fresh styles. It's amazing how a few well-chosen items can bring your wardrobe to life.'

Find support

Surround yourself with people who are upbeat, who want to see you succeed and are making changes in their own lives. Energy loves company. If you've lost touch with friends from being in winter home-body mode, it's time to refresh those connections.

Don't be afraid to give someone a call if you've lost touch, as they're probably feeling bad about losing contact too. Make full use of the extra daylight hours to meet for coffee at an outdoor cafe or take a walk. Get fresh air and fresh inspiration at the same time!

Sharpen your focus

Now you've shaken things up a little, focus on what you really want. That's something only you can answer. Notice where you're putting your energy and attention, and if those activities are genuinely supporting your dreams.

Get help from life coach Debbie Ford's book, The Right Questions, with 'power questions' to give you the clarity to create your ideal life. If you're faced with a decision, one of the most helpful questions to ask yourself is: 'Will this option take me closer to my goal or further away from it?'

Expand your horizons

Use the fresh spring energy to open you up to new experiences. If there's something you've always wanted to do, plan it or try it now. Mix things up by varying the way you travel to work, speaking to new people, and sampling other cuisines. Change your routine and get out of your comfort zone.

It takes two

Chances are you've slipped into a bit of a relationship rut over winter. Spring energy is playful, so stop waiting for your partner to surprise you and do something fun for them. Leave some love notes around the house or whisk them away for a romantic evening. Shake things up and reap the benefits!

You gotta have soul

If you really want to be full of the joys of spring, you'll need to feel you have a purpose and that you're expressing your true self. By learning to be happy with exactly who you are right now and valuing what you have to offer, your self-confidence can become unstoppable.
