As nature blooms, so can you. Research shows that Spring’s gentle energy can breathe new life into ... More your everyday routine. Here’s how “April theory” calls in such change.
The idea that people start to feel better — happier, lighter, more energized — once April rolls around has gained traction online. It’s called the “April Theory” and while it may sound like just another internet trend, there’s likely some truth to it.
A 2024 study conducted on university students found that students felt better emotionally in spring than in autumn. Their mood and psychological well-being were significantly higher, and academic performance also improved during spring.
Spring, after all, does bring real change. As the days grow longer and brighter, your biology responds as well. According to Peter Walschburger, a professor of biopsychology at the Freie Universität Berlin, humans are wired to rest in darkness and become more active and uplifted when exposed to light. So, on brighter spring days, you’re naturally drawn to the outside world.
This shift is not just about sunshine; it’s about experiencing the environment around you waking up — warmer air, blooming trees and the return of birdsong all play a role. Walschburger calls this a “general resonance effect” — where everything around you begins to stimulate your senses and pull you out of the stillness of winter.
Seeing more people outside, you might also start feeling more connected, more open and in many cases, more hopeful.
With our minds naturally aligning with this brighter energy, spring offers the perfect window for positive change.
