This Wednesday marks the start of Mental Health Awareness Month to raise awareness about mental health issues and the importance of mental well-being. The month of May is dedicated to spreading knowledge about mental health, reducing the stigma surrounding mental illnesses, and advocating for policies that support people with mental health conditions. Each week, we’ll share ways to promote mental well-being as well as reduce and manage stress.

As the energy of spring awakens, our days are filled with a renewed connection to the great outdoors, especially here in the Pacific Northwest. We find ourselves embracing more outdoor activities from yard and gardening maintenance to revitalizing our living spaces. Here’s how Jordan, Indigo Movement’s coordinator, welcomes spring!

Following months of hibernation and taking things at a more leisurely pace throughout the winter, spring calls for a change in Tiana’s routine. It allows her to adapt to the change in weather (who doesn’t love Seattle’s spring and summer?) and capitalize on the new energy that comes with it.

While Los Angeles might boast year-round sunshine, Brooklyn's weather can be a bit more unpredictable, especially as spring rolls in. Kay, who supports with PR and marketing, and is a Brooklynite through and through, knows how to make the most of those occasional rainy days while still embracing the city's vibrant atmosphere.

Spring is a time of renewal and rejuvenation, so it's a great time to shake off winter habits and refresh your routine! This could mean incorporating more outdoor activities, adding fresh fruits and vegetables into your diet, or adjusting your exercise routine to take advantage of the longer days and warmer weather.
