198: A Spring Reset : Ayurvedic Habits to Harmonize with Spring & Feel Energized

Author: Lorrie Mickelson, Habits & Self Care April 4, 2026 Duration: 20:26

As we move through a seasonal shift, Episode #198 of the Habit Thrive Podcast explores how Ayurveda can support us in embracing change with more ease and awareness.


A sister science to yoga, Ayurveda has long been part of my wellness toolbox, and this time of year is when it becomes especially helpful.


In early spring — especially in places like Northern Ontario where winter can linger — we may feel caught between seasons.


Ayurveda explains this through Kapha energy (earth and water), which can leave us feeling heavy, sluggish, congested, or low in motivation.


Instead of asking “What’s wrong with me?”, this framework helps us understand what’s happening and respond with more compassion.


As the season shifts, we can make our own transition by adding more greens, shifting toward lighter meals, and supporting the body with hydration and warm teas.


But this isn’t about overhauling your habits: It’s about small, sustainable shifts within your existing routines — like choosing a lighter afternoon tea or simply noticing how certain foods feel in your body.


This episode also marks the start of our “Ayurvedic April” series, where we’ll explore simple, doable ways to bring Ayurveda into your daily life. As always, the invitation is to start where you are, stay curious, and notice where you might be ready to lighten up.
