**vocabulary phrases are explained at the end!

Fresh air, warm weather, nature in bloom; springtime can definitely effect mood, but maybe not so much for productivity.

As for the mood, definitely.

Being in nature, connecting with nature, will always bring about a sense of refreshed energy to your spirit. 

Springtime though, I think is extra special since its the season that brings about that sense of starting anew.

From cold weather to warmer weather; that slide upwards in temperature; it tends to result in a great balance between cold and warm air; its a beautiful thing. And you get beautiful scenery to match; with all the flowers blooming and such.

Could do without all the bugs waking up, though lol.

Plus it allows you to be a bit freer with what you wear. Rather than be bundled up all the time, you can move around a bit more freely, and that’s always a plus!

With all that, how can it not put you in a good mood?

As for productivity…..

This is more mindset, discipline, effort…… On the one hand, I don’t think springtime really effects this, but on the other hand, the change into springtime could have a hand in inspiring one’s mindset, discipline, motivation………

The jury's out on that one.  :) 


*~*~*~*
“Nature in bloom” = flowers are blooming, the leaves on trees are growing and are green, and other similar things that happen to plants in the spring

“As for the….” = “regarding”, or “speaking of…”

“Will always bring about” = result in

“Starting anew” = starting again; anew means ‘once more’ or ‘again’. It can also mean something starts again in a different way, in a new way. It depends on the context.

“Slides upwards” = rises constantly and gently at a steady pace, steady speed

“It tends to result in” = ‘tends’ is the verb form of the noun tendency, which means being prone to a particular kind of action or thought.

Example: “I tend to eat lunch at 1pm” = I often eat lunch at 1pm; eating at 1pm is something that I am most likely to do.


“And such” = actions and results similar to the things listed in the sentence, in this case, flowers blooming, which relates to other things that happen during the spring time in nature.

"lol" = laugh out loud, written online acronym, use it when you are conveying the sence of laughter

“Could do without…” = I don’t like bugs :)   There seam to be many more of them in the Spring in comparison to the winter.

“On the one hand...…but on the other hand” = a statement that is paired with a contrasting statement

“Have a hand” = help, support, (an idea, in this case)

"The jury's out on that one" = the result is not yet decided or clear; a decision has not yet been made
