Spring is that one beautiful season known for bringing joy and happiness, because it is the beginning of little yet beautiful things, it gives us so much energy and helps us to start fresh because most of the people are facing anxiety and depression during winter season and finding it hard because they can't go out that often and also because it affects their physical health, so most of us are forced to stay indoors and that affects our mental health, so the beginning of spring season is definitely something most of the people are looking forward to, it does not just helps our mental health but also helps us to work on our physical health as well, like during winter people tend to stay in cozy, eat their favorite snacks and binge watch series and shows, so during spring they can start going out for a jog, work out and maintain a proper healthy food diet. Sunshine during spring is good for skin, this is because sunlight has vitamin-D. During spring the days are longer than winter and it gets warmer.
