During winter, many of us let our health goals fall by the wayside. The holiday season tempts us with an array of sweet and savory treats, the cold deters us from outdoor exercise, and the pervasive dreariness leads us to cocoon ourselves in a blanket on the sofa.

If these scenarios sound familiar to you, this spring may be the ideal time to rejuvenate yourself with the help of a health coach. A health coach can be instrumental in pinpointing your wellness aspirations, crafting actionable plans to reach them, and holding you accountable to success. Whether your aim is to master stress management, shed excess weight, enhance your physical fitness, or to optimize your health overall, health coaches stand ready to support your journey.

Here are eight compelling reasons to consider health coaching this spring.

1. Sustainable Habit Formation

Many people view spring as a season of growth and renewal, making it the perfect backdrop for putting fresh routines and habits into motion. By enlisting the aid of a health coach, you can begin developing the healthy habits that can transform your life but may prove difficult to sustain on your own.

2. Summer Prep

Whether you want to look your best on the beach or get yourself in prime condition for more strenuous activities, such as long hikes or bike rides, a health coach can help you prepare for the summer. Working with a health coach now gives you a head start on all your summer plans, so you can feel and perform at your best, just in time for the warmer months.

3. Recovery from Winter Sluggishness

If you’re struggling to shake off the winter blues, an expert health coach can be a game-changer. They can recommend activities and dietary changes tailored to raise your spirits and boost your energy, so you can get back to your sunnier, summer self.

4. Enhanced Accountability

For many of us, friends and coworkers don’t offer enough motivation and accountability. A health coach provides you with the enhanced accountability of regular check-ins and professional guidance that far surpasses the once-weekly, “How are you holding up?” text you might get from an accountability partner.

Because spring and summer often come with new temptations (for example, opportunities to lounge by the pool rather than work out, indulge at a backyard barbecue, or have a few too many drinks at a music festival), this formalized accountability can help you stay on track as you work toward your goals. A health coach can ensure you recognize potential temptations, help you put together a plan to address them, help you get back on the horse if you fall off, and ultimately drive you toward success.

5. Increased Energy and Vitality

If you really want to take full advantage of the warmer temperatures and longer days, you’ll need the energy necessary to do it. It’s not enough to merely daydream about embarking on a week-long hiking adventure if your usual routine involves a sedentary cycle from your bed to your desk. Without the necessary stamina, such an excursion would be far from enjoyable.

Working with a health coach can help you develop habits that increase both your physical and mental energy, allowing you to enjoy the longer, sunnier days of spring and summer to their fullest.

6. Preventative Health Measures

Health coaching can help you take proactive steps toward disease prevention, which is particularly relevant as you become more active in the warmer months. The changing seasons can be tough on the immune system. A health coach can offer you advice on nutrition and lifestyle changes to strengthen your immunity.

Similarly, if your goal is to take proactive steps toward preventing chronic illnesses by embracing a more active lifestyle or improving your diet, spring presents you with an ideal starting point. With an abundance of opportunities for outdoor activity and a wider variety of fresh produce, it’s the perfect time of year to make healthful changes that can diminish the risk of long-term health issues.

7. Mental Health and Stress Relief

If you’ve been hoping to learn some new stress management techniques, there’s no better time than spring. The longer daylight hours and increased opportunities to spend time outdoors can make enhancing your mental health easier. According to the American Psychological Association, time spent outdoors can boost your mood, increase attentional functioning, improve memory, reduce stress levels, and more. A health coach can provide you with smart strategies you can use to maximize these seasonal benefits to their fullest.

8. Seasonal Nutrition

Spring is the perfect season to embrace a new harvest of fresh produce and to revisit local farmers markets. A health coach can steer you towards integrating these seasonal fruits and vegetables into your meals, ensuring your diet is rich in nutrients for optimal health.

The Bottom Line

By investing in health coaching this spring, you can optimize your health in the warmer months and beyond. Get started with a complimentary 30-minute coaching call, where you can discuss your goals and develop a customized plan of action to set yourself up for success.
