5 empowering "spring things" i'm loving

Riana Nelson

by riana

There’s never been a more critical time to prioritize your own inner health, inner peace, mental health, and your personal & spiritual growth.

Below are five things I’m absolutely LOVING as we welcome in the spring season, that feel calming and empowering. One of the five is something my boyfriend helped to create, and I’m so proud of him.

Are any of these in your daily routine?! 

If not, I invite you to spend some reflection to discover: what would empower and calm you in the next 3 months of spring??

Here’s mine right now:

a little catkin / pussywillow i found yesterday in the mountains on a hike. the “fur” is actually an insulating warmth layer for the tender blooms getting ready to emerge beneath it!!

1. SPRING SPOTTING🌸

On every hike, walk, and adventure into nature, I am on the visual hunt for tiny buds, teeny blooms, and hard evidence that spring is finally coming! It’s so inspiring. I’m even part of a “Springtime Spotter’s Club” text thread where we exclusively snap and share photos and descriptions of the earliest signs of spring we’re observing!!

Nerdy, but fun. Petals, sprouts, blooms, buds, and changing colors: it’s the best. New life is now. New life is happening!!

Lunar Logic: a delicious brand of rose petal chai!

2. ROSE PETAL CHAI🌸

Rising for a brand new day in Montana still means snowy, chilly mornings. Hopefully not for long as warmer weather is on its way, but for now: hot coffee or tea is definitely a first priority!

So, imagine how delighted I was when my boyfriend gifted me this Lunar Logic ROSE PETAL CHAI powder.

Loaded with adaptogenic shatavari, healing mushrooms containing the earth’s intelligence, rose powder, ginger, and more— I’m absolutely in love with this. (I whisk a tablespoon of it into steamed almond milk with a splash of maple syrup= rose petal heaven!!)

iPad + Adobe Fresco for digital watercolor exploration!

3. DIGITAL WATERCOLOR BRUSHES🌸

You know I love painting with real brushes, but I’ve been keeping my desk tidier these days with the help of DIGITAL BRUSHES! I’m learning how to use Adobe Fresco on my iPad. I just downloaded 200+ new “brushes” (digitally!) and the options are endless for creating new, beautiful, digital artwork and calligraphy. I’d love to create something for you— please reach out if you’re looking for something digital OR “analog”/real watercolor.

TIP: if you’re an artist and feeling creatively stuck, simply try picking up a different tool or method in the area of art creation you love! You never know the ideas and creativity that might start to flow with a new tool in your “creative garden.”

my little parsley plant is going strong!!

4. INDOOR GARDENING🌸

Speaking of gardens… mine’s indoors so far! I’m currently growing 9 new tiny sprouting indoor herbs (including cilantro and basil!), sweet pea starts, a pot of parsley, a few succulents, and a tray of kale microgreen sprouts! I often sing to them. Anyone else?!

It feels very calming to nurture some living green things inside your house, and I get excited to check up on them daily. A mental health win, for sure!

sustainable off grid sustainability bundle course how to go organic

solar powered + off grid… a slice of heavenly dreams of the future, perhaps?!

5. OFF-GRID / SUSTAINABLE LIVING LEARNING!🌸

LAST BUT NOT LEAST! I’m soooooo freaking excited about this one!!

My incredibly brilliant boyfriend, Rob, helped to create one of the most EPIC resource vaults about solutions for an independent sustainable lifestyle!!!!

This digital downloadable library includes 40+ e-books and courses authored by experts in their field, and covers ALL THINGS sustainable living: off-grid solutions, organic farming, natural home remedies, tiny homes and minimalism, prepping and survival, natural law and true freedom, meditation, EMF protection, cryptocurrency strategies… it’s unbelievably powerful and necessary stuff. 

This truly is the BEST time in our lifetime to be learning about REAL solutions that don’t depend on centralized power, gas, food, etc.

We’ve all recently observed how fragile our systems are worldwide (and how FAST they can be disrupted!), and I’m becoming passionate about learning ways to be more self sustainable, proactive, and KIND to the earth and my health. 

I believe downloading JUST ONE of these products would radically shift your life, but imagine cracking the code on MORE THAN FORTY?! Imagine what kind of resilience and freedom you could you create!! 

If you purchased all these courses from these talented experts individually, you’d spend over $2,400.

But for the next few days, you can get the ENTIRE bundle for just $50 HERE: https://bit.ly/36pX0sE

FIFTY! BUCKS!! 😍🙋🏼‍♀️

Please join me as I dive into these amazing freedom resources this spring! BUT— The entire offer disappears in just a few days so I really don’t want you to miss it!!

BUY THE $50 BUNDLE NOW: https://bit.ly/36pX0sE

So…. which “spring thing” are you feeling most empowered to try?! I’d love to hear your thoughts.
