Spring is Here: 9 Tips to Get Moving

​​Spring is Here! Nine Tips to Get Moving
Spring equinox and signs of transitioning to this next season of life and growth are emerging across the NIH main campus. ​ As we think about re-awakening from our winter slumber, here are nine creative and science-backed ways to add movement, boost confidence, and reclaim joy to your life.

  1. Make your daily walks whimsical.
  2. Punctuate your day with​ short bursts of movement.
  3. Pick up the pace.
  4. Make your wishes come true with WOOP (wish, outcome, obstacles, plan).
  5. Pay a 'gratitude visit'.
  6. Do something kind for someone else.
  7. Take an improv class.
  8. Talk to yourself the way you'd talk to a friend.
  9. Surround yourself with people who love you.

​Do one or more of these ideas energize you? Learn more about how to incorporate them into your day in this 2024 NPR article.​
