202: Boost Your Spring Energy with Ayurveda: Dry Brushing, Coconut Oil Abhyanga, Clearing Clutter & More

Author: Lorrie Mickelson, Habits & Self Care May 2, 2026 Duration: 22:45

Still feeling a little heavy even though it’s spring?


You’re not alone—and you don’t need a full life overhaul to shift it.


Episode #202 of the Habit Thrive Podcast is your gentle nudge to notice what’s still weighing you down and lighten things up in simple, doable ways.


Think small resets: Clearing out a few things in your pantry, letting go of old products, or creating a bit more space in your day.


Nothing drastic—just enough to invite in fresh energy.


Your morning can help set that tone.


Simple habits like tongue scraping, sipping warm water before coffee, or adding dry brushing and a quick oil massage can wake up your body and calm your nervous system at the same time.


It’s less about the routine being perfect and more about how it makes you feel.


Movement matters, too—but not as punishment. Just enough to get things flowing again.


A walk outside, some stretching, a bit of strength work—whatever helps you shake off that lingering winter sluggishness.


Same goes for food... This isn’t about dieting—just noticing when you’ve had enough.


Eating until satisfied instead of stuffed can be a surprisingly powerful shift.


At the heart of it all is awareness.


What feels heavy? What feels light? What helps you feel more like yourself?


As you move into May, don’t aim for perfect—just aim for a little lighter. Start there.
