Renewal Rewards

Staying active creates an energy boost and youthful feeling. Along with becoming fit and healthy, there's a rekindled sense of joyfulness. This comes with tension release due to self-care and an uplifting spark of spunk!
One of the keys to feeling a sense of revitalization and renewal is to pace yourself. Hey, time is on your side! You have years to look forward to and miles to travel. Tickle your funny bone – boost it with a healthy dose of optimism. Ready – set – time to tune into the 7Rs!
Renewal is a Big Deal!
You’re likely to chuckle if you run a search for this R term. It also applies to your driver's license, worn-out kitchen faucet, or new solar panels. What we're getting at here is most akin to those panels – here's to a renewed and renewable you!

These 7 steps will help you to deepen your experience. Whether you’re taking a break to relieve sitting-too-long tension, or easing onto the floor for some stretches, allow time to prepare and renew.
#1 Rev Up – time to get in gear
ღ Mindset - Take some deep breaths, setting the intention for self-care.
