He added, "For example, if I am always doing high intensity training, maybe I slow things down and jump in a yoga class or Pilates to switch up the tempo."

Switching up your routine can not only help your mental strength, it can also bring new physical challenges back to your workout routine. 

Freeman recommended finding three self-care things to focus on this spring season. 

He suggested "breathing exercises that allow you to tune out all the noise and completely focus on your breathing, plus going outside technology-free and taking a walk with no distractions."

The fitness professional also emphasized the motto, "Mind right, body right."

As for those who might have fallen off the New Year’s resolution wellness wagon, Freeman said to remember that "failure is part of the journey."

He said, "How you respond to [failure] is what matters most… [so] celebrate the small wins and build off that momentum."

Freeman also suggested surrounding yourself with others who want to lift you up and encourage you to keep striving toward your goals. 

"Just remember in this game of health and wellness that it is not a sprint, but instead a long game of chess [where] the body is always changing and evolving," he said. 

"Give yourself grace and continue to move in a forward direction."
