Spring Cleaning Your Heart

We spend so much time in the spring cleaning out our homes, closets, and offices…

But we often forget one of the most important places to check in: our hearts.

Spring cleaning tends to focus on what’s visible.
But what’s happening internally matters just as much, if not more.

This week, I want to encourage you to take just 15 minutes to pause and check in with yourself.

Ask yourself:

• What am I feeling right now?
• What areas of my life are bringing stress and overwhelm?
• What areas are bringing joy and peace?

Sit with your answers. Don’t rush past them. Don’t be afraid of what comes up.

Then gently ask:

• Do I need to adjust my schedule or daily rhythm?
• Is this stress temporary… or something I need to address more intentionally?
• Is there something I need to release, or something I need to learn to navigate differently?
• Can I create more space for what brings me peace?

This isn’t about overhauling your life overnight.
It’s about becoming aware, and making small, meaningful shifts.

What Are You Letting In?

Spring cleaning isn’t just about what we remove, it’s also about what we allow in.

Are you filling your heart with things that restore you?

• Are you getting enough sleep?
• Nourishing your body well?
• Moving in ways that feel good?
• Making time for prayer, quiet, or reflection?

What you put in matters just as much as what you clear out.

Simple Ways to Lean Into the Season

1.Host an Easter Gathering Whether it’s an egg hunt, a potluck, or a simple meal, this is a beautiful time to gather and connect. It doesn’t have to be elaborate, just intentional.

2. Take Advantage of “No Housework Day” (April 7) Your home will be okay if you step away for a day. Use that time to do something that fills you up instead.

Things I'm Loving

1. Did you know many insurance plans cover access to a registered dietitian?I recently started working with one through Nourish, and I’ve been so impressed. I was able to spend nearly an hour on a video call focused on my specific goals, and it was completely covered. If improving your health is on your heart, it might be worth checking what your insurance offers.
2. Warmer weather always puts me in the mood for fresh, simple meals. I still use the acacia salad bowl I received as a wedding gift 8 years ago, and it never fails to get compliments. I recently made a salad in it that was a hit… even with the non-salad, non-kale lovers 😊If you’re looking to refresh your meals this season, this might be a fun place to start.

If this resonated with you, I created something simple to help you take the next step.

“Search me, God, and know my heart… See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” — Psalm 139:23–24

Sometimes the most meaningful growth doesn’t come from doing more…
It comes from slowing down long enough to notice what’s been sitting beneath the surface.

You don’t have to carry everything into the next season.

You’re allowed to release, reset, and move forward with peace.

Cheering you on,
