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?

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!
