21 Day Spring Into Action Plan
Feeling tired of Winter? Lacking in energy, skin and hair dull? Do you feel like your ‘get up and go’ got up and went?
Good news! Spring is around the corner; a great time of year to put that ‘spring in your step’ and start afresh. It’s renewal time after all (in tandem with the new blooms!), so the perfect chance to allow a healthier new you to emerge. This is where I come in!
I’ll help you Spring into Action with my 21 days of easy, quick tips from March 1st-21st.
Each of my tips will take less than a minute; they’re so low effort they won’t affect your routine. Yet try them, and adopt them as part of your daily life, and by day 21 you’ll have made up to three weeks of small changes that will put a spring in your step and a sparkle on your face.
Wondering how this challenge works?
Over the 21 days I will present you with a simple daily task on our challenge blog post. Give each one a go and if it works, keep doing it. I promise, they are hassle-free; there’s no diet plan or ‘regime’!
These are just simple, tiny, baby steps which will become such a part of your life you won’t even notice. But you will notice how zingy, fresh and sparkling you feel. Try them and see!
Make it even more fun?
Why not enrol a ‘21 Day Spring into Action buddy’ to join you in the challenge? You can make a public pledge and join the rest of our challengers on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, remembering to use and watch out for the hashtag, #SpringIntoAction!
I’m sure you will love the 21 tips and see how simple it is to weave these action points into your daily life. Let me know how you get on – you can check in via social or leave a comment below at any stage!
Here’s to an energised and more positive you! Now please share and grab your buddies!
Day 1
Count your glasses! Sip 8-10 glasses of water daily for more energy and brighter skin.
Do a good deed for someone today. Check on a neighbour or cheer up a colleague with a cuppa.
Have a sugar-free breakfast before you leave the house. Try eggs, tomato and avocado, or quinoa or oat porridge or my Sweet Potato Granola?
Sit in a silent room and breathe in and out deeply for a minute. Get rid of all that stale air in your lungs and re-oxygenate.
Drink lemon and hot water first thing for a spring in your step, healthy digestion and a happy liver.
Do some gentle stretches and side bends as soon as you get up in the morning.
Cinnamon is amazing. Full of flavour and a great stabiliser for blood sugar and moods. Add a teaspoon to your breakfast.
Snack sugar-free with celery, carrot and hummus. Delicious, healthy and a quick energy boost!
Detox your workspace today, emptying those drawers of sugary drinks, foods and snacks!
A morning coffee is fine but ONLY after breakfast. Mint tea makes a natural pick-me-up thereafter!
Smile – it triggers endorphins and happy hormones and becomes a positive habit!
Good fats give great glow! Be sure to eat some nuts, seeds, avocado or oily fish today.
Be mindful and chew your food well. Your Stomach does not have teeth!
Avoid all white refined foods. White does not equal pure with food, it means you’re eating quick-release carbs!
This evening, write down three things that you’re grateful for today.
Sprinkle a dessert spoon of ground flax over a meal today – great in yoghurt, salads, soups or casseroles.
Log off from all electronic equipment and social media by 9:30pm.
Have a day without meat. It will do you good and save you money.
Add some movement to your day. Take the stairs not the lift or go for a walk at lunch.
Have two portions of dark green leafy vegetables. Mix things up with spinach, broccoli, chard or spring greens.
Monday 21st Buy yourself a bunch of flowers, men included. It can be cheerfully cheap, like daffodils. You are worth it!
Life after the 21 day Spring into Action plan:
The 80:20 rule.
I get it, life doesn’t always go to plan and even the best intentions can be intercepted! That’s why I’m a firm believer in living life according to my 80:20 rule. 80% of the time -and where it’s under your control – you stick to this energy and positivity-enhancing action plan. Then, 20% of the time, you can let your hair down!
Remember to get in touch and let me, and the rest of the Health Tribe, know how you get on. You can find me on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, #SpringintoAction!
Nourishing well wishes,
Angelique

Part of my work in clinic is to identity and address the root cause which is responsible for the symptoms a client is experiencing. The most common underlying condition I see is unbalanced hormones. Once I noticed that balancing hormones leads to the reduction of so many other symptoms, I knew I had to create a simple plan to help people understand and support their hormones.
Follow the plan

Hi you have inspired me since the Sugar Farm – by the way if you ever need anymore non celeb volunteer me and my partner would love to join you (he doesn’t know that lol!)
I love the simple tasks and had done day two without looking at it as I am a live in carer and my client was feeling a little low today with the weather so I have been making her laugh all day. Making myself laugh too. Good feeling.
Hello Sharon,
Thank you for your message! I am so pleased that you feel inspired and that I can be part of your sugar-free journey. I love that you have recruited your husband as well even if he doesn’t know it!
Laugher is the best medicine- it sounds like you do the challenge from Day 2 everyday, thank you!
Hope you enjoy the rest of the Spring Into Action challenge and please do let me know how you are getting on.
