Talk to Me Thursday: Does Sunshine Instantly Boost Your Mood Too?

Spring is finally starting to show up here and I am absolutely living for it.

The second the sun comes out and the temperatures warm up even a little bit, you can usually find me with my laptop outside on the back porch. Something about working outside, soaking up a little vitamin D, and feeling a warm breeze just makes the day feel better.

Maybe it’s just me, but I swear I am a completely different person when the sun is shining.

After months of gray skies, cold mornings, and what honestly feels like the seasonal slump of winter, those first sunny days feel like the world is finally waking back up again.

The Patio Girl Life

If there’s one thing about me, it’s that I am a patio girl through and through.

Give me:

• sunshine

• fresh air

• coffee outside in the morning

• dinner al fresco in the evening

And I am a happy person.

There’s just something about being outside that makes everyday moments feel a little more special. Even simple things like answering emails, planning trips, or working on blog posts feel better when you’re doing them with sunshine on your face.

Winter vs. Spring Energy

I don’t know about you, but winter always brings a little bit of that seasonal funk for me.

Short days.

Cold weather.

Everyone stuck inside more than we’d like.

But once spring starts showing up, it feels like we’re all finally thawing out. Suddenly people are outside again, patios are filling up, and everything just feels lighter.

Little Things I’m Looking Forward To This Spring

With warmer weather starting to roll in, I’m especially excited for:

• working from the porch more often

• family walks

• outdoor brunches

• patio dinners with friends

• slow mornings with coffee outside

It’s amazing how something as simple as sunshine and fresh air can reset your mood.

Talk To Me…

One of my favorite parts of these Thursday posts is hearing from all of you.

So tell me…

Does sunshine instantly boost your mood too?

And are you more of a patio person like me, or do you prefer staying inside?

I’d love to hear your favorite way to enjoy those first warm spring days.

Xoxo,
