4 Ways to Rejuvenate Your Life

Since the mind, body and spirit are all interconnected; stress, poor health and negative energy all impact areas of your life. Tiffany Lymon, CEO of Pearls of Pursuit Coaching and Expert Advisor for National Association Women on the Rise, says, "Often times women, are dealing with competing internal and external pressure from the demand of balancing work, life, family and community, not to mention themselves - and these pressures can leave a woman feeling stretched, unappreciated and unfulfilled."

Does this describe you? If so, here are 4 ways to rejuvenate your life. "We must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves; otherwise we harden." Johann Wolfgang Van Goethe

Rejuvenate Your Mind

By living your best life, reduce or eliminate the amount of stress you have present in your life. Meditation is an excellent healing tool that rejuvenates your mind; increase your inner strength and well being; and good for your body as well.

Rejuvenate Your Body

Your body is sacred and should be treated as such! It is what keeps us alive. It is important to treat your body right. Two important ways to care for your body:

Exercise: In essence, having an exercise regimen improves your quality of life. It's a great way to control your weight; helps to prevent diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure; and strengthen and tone muscles which allow us to look and feel better. Most fitness experts suggest incorporating a daily exercise regimen into our lives.

Skin Care: Let's face it, as we age, so will the appearance of our skin. This is not a reason not to have great looking skin. With so many anti-aging products on the market, it's overwhelming to know which ones have safe ingredients that won't harm your skin. There are simple and natural ways to have healthy and glowing skin at any age. Here are 4 natural tips:

Manage stress. Having stress in your life is inevitable. The key is identifying the source of stress and finding ways to take control of how it affects your life. By managing stress allow you to take charge and live a more balanced life.

Eat healthy foods. Having a balanced and healthy diet and avoiding junk foods is an important factor in maintaining good health.

Drink plenty of water daily. It is important to drink 8 glasses of water daily to slow down the aging process. By committing to this will keep your body fully hydrated and prevent dryness of skin.

Avoid the sun. This is very harmful to your skin. If you must be in the sun, protect your skin from over exposure by using sunscreen products.

Rejuvenate Your Spirit

Do you feel stuck or out of balance in your life? Do you long to deepen your spirituality? You are not alone. Everyone goes through trials and tribulations in life, but the question is how long

does it take to get through them? In spite of all that might be going on, it is important to be in tune with your inner spirit. Here are 3 ways to release and relax:

Take care of you. Easy said, but not so easily done. Most of us spend a lot of time caring and nurturing others. By putting your needs first, will allow you to better care for others.

Let go. Yes, I said it! Let go of the need to 'control' everything in your life. By letting go of anxiety, worry, stress or fear that consumes you, will allow your inner spirit to flow through. You will begin to experience much more peace and happiness!

Live in the moment. By living in the now allows you to experience life directly! Look around you; enjoy the beauty of your surroundings; take a deep breath and exhale; and stop worrying about what if, instead, enjoy what is.

Rejuvenate Your Business

Now is a good time to think about your accomplishments. Is there room for improvement?

Here are 3 ideas to help you refuel.

Reflect. This is a perfect time to reflect on the successes and failures of your professional and personal life. Have you considered what changes you would like to implement this year? As women entrepreneurs, it is important to look for ways to improve work-life balance. Take some time to reflect on your business's progress and make plans on how you want your business to grow.

Reorganize. What kind of clutter have you accumulated that is hindering you from functioning at your optimal best? Write down all the things that are cluttering your mind, distorting your life's vision. Take each of the things on your list and ask yourself the following questions:

1. Why am I holding on to this clutter?

2. What purpose does it serve?

3. How do I rid myself of it?

Clutter can be distracting while adding to the chaos in our lives. Take time to reorganize your mind by simply ‘letting go' and re-prioritizing the way you do things.

Refine. Have you considered refining your target market to increase your bottom line? We all know that the success of your business depends on making sales.

To re-identify your target client, ask yourself the following questions:

1. Do you know who your customers will be?

2. Do you understand their needs and desires?

3. Do you know where they live?

4. Will you be offering the kind of products or services that they will buy?

5. Will your prices be competitive in quality and value?

6. Do you understand how your business compares with your competitors?

7. Will your business be conveniently located for the people you plan to serve?

By refining your target market, you are ensuring the success of your business!

In conclusion, by evaluating and making adjustments to every aspect of your life; mind, body spirit and business, you will be living at your optimal level.

The Second Life Platform - Greetings! I'm not sure how many of you have heard of or are sensitive to Second Life and its related entities. However, Second Life is a fantastic platform to mimmick real life business operations in a real currency based economy.

Re: Charge what you're worth - [quote="Tami Szabo":292ze3jd]People will pay you what you ask. Very few will ever up the price. You are the one who decided what you are worth. The key is that we believe our services are worth the price we are asking.[/quote:292ze3jd] Hi Tami, You're absolutely right. In "Think and Grow Rich", Jessie B. Rittenhouse says "For Life is a just employer, He gives you what you ask, But once you have set the wages, Why, you must bear the task. I worked for a menial's hire Only to learn, dismayed , That any wage I had asked of Life, Life would have willingly paid" (Napoleon Hill 35). I think the same can be said when setting prices on eBay or Craigslist, especially when people are trying to haggle you.

Re: Favorite Christmas movies - [quote="OmnivoreInk":1rxsgr0t]I do have to say I've never liked[i:1rxsgr0t] It's A Wonderful Life[/i:1rxsgr0t]. He spends all his life having his hopes and dreams shattered, feeling miserable, and its only at the end of his life that he can look back and realize how many friends he has, etc. But that doesn't change the fact that up until that point he was miserable![/quote:1rxsgr0t] I love the sentimentality around watching that movie with your Mom! Chtistmas is made up of all those sentimental things. "It's A Wonderful Life" is all about perspective, much in the same way that Scrooge is 'realigned' in Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" - which I listen to on CD every year (sometimes twice!) Happy Christmas Everyone! Regards Martin
