Oooh, I’ve always wanted to try Angela’s bars!
One thing that helps me renew my spirit – and I know this sounds completely nerdy – is a trip to the library or bookstore! I love the quiet and being surrounded by loads of interesting books to browse through. It relaxes me and clears my head!
I love the idea of a good book. Thanks for that!
I have been choosing to treat myself better, and it is such a journey coming from a steep slope of eating disorders, severe health issues, and depression.
I HAVE FOUND that I refreshed by hearing other people’s stories and being vulnerable with others.
I am refreshed and motivated to change my own patterns as I recognize what they really are as I visualize others’ similar patterns and stories. I love hearing the progress and new found self-acceptance and forgiveness in many blogs and personal friendships.
I have chosen to start my own blog in order to help other friends that I am mentoring through there similar struggles. I am building relationships that I have never had! I am finding a strength that I didn’t recognize before as I enjoy all life really has instead of such a narrow pattern of thinking! And I want to help others. That is how I am refreshed!
I find that I renew myself through giving back and being honest in my blog. That totally makes sense.
omg! I”VE BEEN DYING to try her bars! i think the best thing for me is a good old fashioned yoga class…. nothign clears my mind and renews my spirit quite like it 🙂
Thank you for reminding me that I need to bust out my yoga online classes from yogadownloads.com 🙂
I really want those bars! I renew my spirit by taking time for myself and also taking time to think about all the great things in my life.
Fun giveaway! I renew with yoga or a good book – taking time away from technology 🙂
I think that is such a good one–taking time away from Technology. An internet/Computer free time. Love it. I shall endeavour to do this for sure!
Ooh, good question — and great giveaway!
When I need a kick in the spirit 🙂 I turn on showtunes and play them as loudly as I can stand. I sing along — even when I don’t know all the words — and dance.
I’m a terrible dancer. But boy does it make me feel good!
Alternative: get a pedicure. Bliss.
There’s nothing better than dancing around your house…love it!
I like to exercise or go on a trip!
I renew by hanging with friends, and weightlifting/running.
GREAT giveaway!! Can’t wait to try Angela’s bars.. I usually dim the lights and do some nice yoga!! Last week during meditation I put on a detoxing face mask it was great!
What a great Idea Megzz! Seriously..I might just be doing that! 🙂
I like to have little dates with myself – usually this involves shopping, eating at a cafe, going for a walk/run/bike ride at the park, making a nice dinner and watching a movie with a glass of wine…as you can see, my spirit gets kicked in the pants quite often, so I have to have a large arsenal of tricks!
I love the idea of dates w/ myself. I actually may bring that up in my Double Dog Dare You! page for next week. Thanks Kat!
How I renew my spirit:
1. Make a list (thankful for, why I rock, what I am going to accomplish, things I enjoy, etc)
2. Drink some tea & listen to dave matthews band
3. Laugh. And laugh. And laugh.
🙂
I LOVE DMB. Tripping Billies on Youtube..gets me through the workday..on repeat.
Oooh Oooh! Fun post! I will twitter this (or is it tweet?) as soon as I’m done posting.
To renew, I spend time with family. I find that when I’m really stressed or burnt out, a few hours with my husband or my parents (usually both together) just centers me and brings me back to myself.
Thanks in advance Tracey. I love spending time with those I love. They have a way of grounding me. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by.
I would LOVE to try Angela’s bars!
Sweet giveaway, I have been dying to try some of Angela’s Glo bars! Hhmm.. how do I renew myself? I would say by spending time with family and friends, taking a nice long bath or going for a run in the crisp, fall air.
Thanks for the giveaway!! 🙂
What a great contest! I have been wanting to try those bars too 🙂
I’m sure I’m repeating what a lot of others have said but when I need to renew my spirit, I like to start something new. If I’ve been running for a while, I will focus on a weight training program or vice versa.
I also renew my focus on prayer and taking time out to thank God for everything in my life.
A good girl’s night out (or in) helps a lot too 🙂
Thanks!
Great giveaway!
When my spirit has taken a beating, I nurse my soul with a cup of tea, a long walk, and my ipod.
And then I ask my hubby for a gigantic hug! That always makes me feel a million times better.:-)
I renew by spending time with my good friends and not checking my email/spending time on the computer.
I usually work out or stretch with relaxing music!
My favourite way to renew is to take a long, hot shower. Just being in that space, with the steam and the pounding water, it clears my mind and helps me breathe. It also feels very therapeutic. I love it!!
And I love Ange’s bars… would be elated to win some!!
I would LOVE to win these bars! Surefire way for me to renew? Head to church. Works every time. 🙂
When I need to renew, I love to go do something active by myself. A long hike in the woods, or a run without timing. Being alone with my own thoughts helps me sort things out and get me into a better place.
Thanks for the great giveaway!
When I need to renew my spirit I love to have a nice hot bubble bath, with some candles, and my favorite music.
Alternatively, if I can’t get that, a nice long hug from my husband sure does the trick.
MMM… I would love to try her bars!
I take some time for myself.. Fill up the tub add some epsom salts, light some candles, and give my body the thanks it DESERVES!!
Jen
I CLEAN to renew my spirit! Weird, but it works. I am dying to try Glo bars 🙂
I would love to sample a glo bar please.
When I need to renew my spirit I make sure to give myself some ME time.
My favorite way to do this: waking up early to get some yoga in with the sun coming in through the windows while the house is still quiet.
I find if I’m able to RENEW first thing in the morning, it puts a much more positive spin on the rest of the day!
What a wonderful giveaway!
When I need to renew I either go for a nice walk with my ipod to keep me company. I like to listen to This American Life, a program by NPR, and let my mind drift.
Either that or do yoga. It always helps me to feel centered and refreshed. Plus, if I can stop my mind from racing and focus on the breathing I feel so much better.
Umm, to renew myself.. I take a long nice warm bath. It’s the most relaxing and of course cleansing of the body and mind. Hope I win!
I think hitting up the gym or taking a yoga class is the best way to renew.
I definitely want to try the GLO bars- thanks for the giveaway!
I “renew” by stretching – not yoga necessarily – just stretching out my muscles for a few minutes whenever I feel stressed or tired. It always helps and feels soo good!
Wow… I would really love to try these famous Glo bar! When I need a renew, I go outside, find the nature where I can find a peace for my mind! Sport is another good way the make de refill of my energy!
I renew with some time by myself. Usually with a good book. I’ll retweet this for you!
Awesome giveaway, I’ve been dying to try these bars for a while now!
My favorite ways to unwind are:
long walk/good run
journaling
practicing yoga poses while listening to my favorite music 🙂
AMAZING giveaway! I cannot wait to try the glo bars!
to renew my spirits I make sure to have a great workout! exercise refuels me and revs me up!!
nice! i’m a fan of the longgg shower and waking up at sunrise for a quiet run
I renew myself by going out to the horse farm and visiting the babies… I love the little foals 🙂
when I want to renew my spirit I run! 🙂
I like to write notes or send little care packages to my family, friends, and girls I use to babysit for back in Phoenix. Everyone loves getting a little snail mail, right?! I know I do. Makes me smile and feel good knowing I might have put a smile on their face too 🙂
Me to! I love sending care packages!
hi!
i also love spending time with the people I really love (boyfriend, friends, family etc). i find that when i get too busy, i tend to focus on everything on my plate and don’t make as much time for the important relationships in my life.
but regular exercise plays a HUGE role in keeping my spirit up to the point where it rarely needs a kick in the pants 🙂
I renew by taking a day for myself- yoga, walking, reading, praying. I have been dying to try Angela’s bars!
Great giveaway! for me, i renew by having the hottest possible shower (not bath though, that makes me lethargic) then opening the windows wide to let the cold air in.
Ohhh my goodness I’ve been dyingg to try these bars!! They look so awesome!
I usually “renew” myself with a good LONG night’s sleep… relaxing with a cup of my favorite coffee & a book… or a nice, easy run.. preferably outside because enjoying beautiful weather renews me all on its own 🙂 Especially Fall weather!
I love going out for a long walk with my dog to renew my spirit!
This is a great giveaway! To renew my spirit, I go to one of my favorite yoga classes…it works every time!
these bars look amazing & i bet they taste even better knowing how much effort angela puts into them. i always go to yoga when my spirit needs renewing & it always does wonders for me!
This is what I do..
Take a cold shower, dress up, and go to a fancy restaurant!!
Awesome giveaway!!!
I renew with a nice long run, nothing helps refresh me more than a good sweat and some pavement pounding!
I often say a run is like hitting my internal reset button. It always works (even if I don’t feel like it at the start…)
My other favorite thing is to find a merry-go-round. (I used to love the one on the Mall in Washington DC). It’s hard to take yourself too seriously doing something like that!
I renew my spirit by taking a walk or a hike or a run outdoors. Being out of my house in the sunshine always lifts my spirits and makes me feel refreshed!
Hi! This is my first time on your blog, and I love it.
I like to go out dancing to renew my spirit… and I definitely am one to dance like nobody is watching. Feels great!
I take a bubble bath and then listen to some of my favorite music while laying on the floor stretching and taking deep breaths. Kind of cheesy, but it works for me!
I renew my glo 🙂 with taking time to do the things I LOVE to do and don’t always have time for in the whirlwind of life- go to the bookstore, get a coffee and browse is my fave! But also, just reading a good book at home (in front of the fireplace as it starts to get colder in Canada!) does the trick too!
As much as I don’t want to do it…after a run I always feel so renewed!
For to feel renewed, I take a day just for me…starting with a trip to the bookstore and then to the coffee shop. Then I do whatever I feel like doing…no cell phone, no computer…just quiet time with myself.
I would love to win some glo bars and I am glad i found your website, I just started my own and have been looking for some other good ones that can inspire me.
I read blogs to renew my spirits 🙂
Meg
Me to! They’ve been my saving grace
I go on a long walk by myself and focus on the nature around me!
i love to get some exercise in, by myself– either a nice sweaty run, a picturesque walk or an intense yoga session. after that, i love a good long bath soak and then getting in the kitchen to cook some delicious, nourishing food. never fails.
I renew my spirit by putting on some really good music.. whether it’s a rock song, a bouncy pop song, or something extremely mellow, and I throw myself into it, letting myself let any bad energy out in the beat of the song and bringing the fun-spirited energy in. It’s like it gives my soul/spirit/inner girl a good dip in the tub to get the dirt of the day off.
I also love a good phone call. I have two people I’ll call when I need this phone call, and that’s my dearest and my best friend. We don’t have to talk about anything in particular, but just hearing their voices makes me feel refreshed, yanno?
I read inspirational stories of those who beat the odds or have been able to overcome obstacles. As well as I go for a run, with no ipod, just the sound of my feet hitting ground and my thoughts and then an hour of pilates.
Super great giveaway. Always wanted to visit Australia.
If I’m really down or stressed I love to take an evening and have it all about me. I do things like take a warm bubble bath, listen to my favorite music, read a good book, drink warm tea, do a face mask, eat a special treat! Thanks so much for the opportunity.
I go to the bookstore or the library!
What a great giveaway! To renew my spirit I spend time and talk to my girlfriends. Or I take my puppy for a walk 🙂
To renew my spirit, I like to sit in a warm bathtub full of bubbles. I’ve been dyign to try Angela’s bars too!
Yay! I’ve been wanting to try those GloBars! I go for a run to clear my head and work off some steam! Then I come home, open the windows to some fresh air and drink a big cup of coffee…
When I to renew my spirit, I
A) Go shopping or
B) Go to Body Attack! (A wonderful Les Mills Class at my gym)
Just recently I need a swift kick in the butt, so I made a list of positives in my life. I think it really helped me to remember where to focus. 🙂
FInding the positives in life is so important. I totally agree
I’ve been dying to try Angela’s bars! She’s so talented. 🙂
Going for a walk outside, going shopping, doing yoga, curling up with a good book and a cup of coffee, or even just turning on my favorite TV show are definitely my favorite ways to Renew my spirit!
xxoo
Heather
my favorite way to renew my spirit is to go sit outside in the beautiful weather and just take in the scenery. i love the outdoors 🙂
A walk (or a run!) in the rain. Gets me every time!
One way that I renew my spirit is to carve out “me” time at the end of the day. I draw a nice hot bath and get into my nice comfy bed. I love to listen to my favorite radio show and drift off to sleep.
I try to do some yoga, call up my Momma and Poppa, eat good food, and reach out to go grocery shopping (duh) 🙂
I renew with a lovely walk or something outside 🙂
To renew myself I like to read, sometimes my scriptures, sometimes a good book, sometimes short articles on an area in my life I want to enhance.
I love to head out for a nice run. It really clears my head and gives me an energy boost! Fun giveaway!
Whenever I’m feeling down, I always think about how lucky I am to have an extremely strong support system around me. My parents are supporting me as I take the big step in transferring schools, and I have some solid mentors who are also backing me up 100%. I also think about how lucky I am just to be alive. Simple little thoughts about just how lucky I am usually wipe out the negativity and “renew” my spirits back upward in the right direction!
A nice slow long run always helps me feel better when I need some renewal. Trashy TV does the trick too. 😉
I take a Pilate’s class to renew my spirit. Might sounds cheesy, but with 2 kids, 3 cats and a husband, my house is a noisy place! At Pilate’s I can truly relax and RENEW!!!
i practice yoga and meditation to renew myself!
when i need to renew, i turn off my phone, tv, etc. and do some quiet yoga, read a book, and/or take a bath – when i take the time quiet my body & mind i feel more refreshed and recharged overall
great giveaway, those glo bars are a hot commodity right now 🙂
I run. It’s the only time all day some days that I find peace.
i love to renew myself by getting a good message followed by a flower bath.
I renew myself by taking a walk, a bath, or getting a massage!
I head out into nature whenever I need to feel renewed/grounded/reconnected with myself. Works like a charm (unless it’s raining!)
Great giveaway! How exciting!
I renew by taking a hot bubble bath and just unwinding. Sometimes life just gets to be so overwhelming that you just need to unplug destress
XO
I have wanted to try the Glo Bars for quite sometime now!!!
I renew with exercise. Usually jogging or pilates 🙂
i love to have a spa night while watching Bravo or Food Network or reading a magazine!
i put on my running shoes and run along the waterfront. it cures the blahs, helps me to work through problems and renews my spirit.bonus: i always have a smile on my face when i am done :).
When I need to renew my spirit, I call up some friends and we go DANCING!
I LOVE DANCING!
Ooh I love Angela’s blog and I’ve really been wanting to try her baked goods.
I renew with a bike ride, walk, run, etc…through the woods by myself. I love being outdoors…especially in the fall when the weather gets cool!!
What a great giveaway! I like to take my two dogs on a nice walk around town or sit down with a good book and glass of wine.
I was hoping to order some of Angela’s bars when she started U.S. yesterday but I’ll have to wait for my next paycheck…
I depend on laughing to renew. Hanging with friends and sharing funny stories or even just watching some sitcoms or a movie like Wedding Crashers or something.
Pray, count my blessing, just be thankful to be alive!
Hi – I renew by taking long walks in the woods with my dog. The quiet, and peacefulness helps be to become centered.
As I walk I start thinking of all the things I am grateful – my children, my husband, work I enjoy, strong legs, the strength to give up ‘bad’ foods (70% of the time), my Mom, my sisters…
then I pray for all the people in my ‘prayer box’.
Recognizing all my blessings and praying for others renew my connection to what’s most important.
I write, or take a nice long walk around the neighborhood. 🙂
what a great giveaway! I want to try her bars so bad!!!
I love listening to some of my favorite music or reading a book that I love – usually one I’ve read tons of times before.
I take sometime to myself to renew. Or go outside. Sit with my family and cat. Etc.!
Thanks for the giveaway!
In order to renew my spirit:
I love to laugh.
I love to play with my dog.
I make a list of the things for which I’m thankful!
I open my heart to the goodness of the universe!
I am so excited to find out about a new blog–I look forward to reading more here 🙂
As for how I renew my spirit, I curl up under the covers with my dog and just let myself breathe!
Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
Read my favorite blogs… what else?!?
When I need a kick in the pants, i plan my next meal to be really really healthy and work hard (school, exercise, job etc) until then, so i feel like i deserved it more! I love eating healthy! thanks for the giveaway 🙂
I take a bubble bath!
I renew my spirit through my Cardio-Core bootcamp classes. The classes allow me the time to focus on my strengthening my body and clearing my mind!
If I don’t win I’ll have to order some Glo Bars they look great!
So glad to find your blog!
When I need renewal, I sleep in and then go for a nice long walk outside.
For me, a good long run helps me to renew my spirit and confidence for what lies ahead.
To renew my spirit, one of the following usually works: a hot shower, a quick run, a glass of red wine, or hanging out with friends.
eat peanut butter 😛
I renew my “spirit” with yoga!! In fact, I’m doing a 31-Day Yoga Challenge this month and blogging about it. Hope I get to try some of Angela’s amazing bars!!!
I totally want to try some globars!
lol, forgot to add, to renew my spirit I take a little time (usually exercise, or getting outside) with just myself everyday. 🙂
I would love these!
To renew my spirit I love to take a nice hot bubble bath, light candles, and crank up some relaxing music!
Great giveaway! I would love to try Glo bars. I renew myself by listening to good music, taking a walk, and petting my cats.
Go for a long walk =]
I do something nice for other people. It reminds me that we are all human :)!
ohh I need a renew bar right now… im feeling quite sore 😦
I always go to the gym, its like a new found love.. i love to try different workouts because i get bored so easily and whenever i go i always just sweat out the stress of daily life…22 is a rough year!!
My husband built me a pyramid with crystals and I meditate under it…very energizing!
I do yoga. It always makes me feel better 🙂
I’ve been inspired by Angela’s determination to master her own mind, body and soul.
What I do to renew my spirits when I feel utterly lost is, to put on my best running shoes and going for a stress releasing run. No to mention blasting motivational music to bump up my mood.
honestly… when I need to be ‘renewed’, it’s usually because I’m sleep deprived. So I sleep in! Such a luxury! (and yoga or a long run never hurt either!)
To renew my spirits I play with my adorable, loving yellow labrador retriever. We play “chase” out in my backyard and I just sprint around chasing her for at least ten minutes (she’s kind of a weird dog 🙂 ). It always gets my breathing going and really helps to clear my head!
I like to go for a walk and sit by the water.
I renew with yoga, particularly during those last five minutes in savasana.
When I need to renew my spirit I pray and run. I feel spiritually and emotionally awakened after!
Go Shopping always helps me feel renewed!
yippee! I love your giveaways. @ renew my spirit by going for long walks alone with just my ipod & my thoughts. it is during this time @ pray, feel grateful & solve the world’s problems 😉
I download new songs and make new playlists….and rock out to the tunes!
A take a deep breath and then blast music and dance!!!
I renew with a long bubble bath while reading a good book or listening to some Matt Nathanson and Jack Johnson…
Hi!
What helps me renew my spirit is doing something I love…like hanging out with my family, or reading a really good book. Sometimes it’s just one of those small moments that just overwhelm you with happiness…and you feel amazing.
I’ve really been wanting to try Angela’s Glo Bars!! Whoever wins this is very lucky! 🙂
When I need a kick in my pants, I try to surprise someone with an “out of the blue” little treat. Makes me feel great!
To renew my spirit I usually shut off my phone and read my bible! These things both bring me perspective and rest which both are renewing. The deep touching words in the bible and the disconnect from the “busy world” are vital for feeling renewed. And a good glo bar. 🙂 Would LOVE to try them.
To “renew my spirits” I do a bunch of different things, but the best personal mood lifter is running or attending a spin class. I have never ever regretted working up a sweat and clearing my mind.
If that isn’t feasible – I call my Mom. She is good at spirit lifting. 🙂
yoga!
To renew, I exercise, take a nap, and give a good hug!
I would LOVE to win Angela’s Glo Bars!!!
To renew my spirits I like to just take time for myself. Sunrise yoga or a morning run, tea, and whipping up a healthy new recipe in the kitchen!! Its always the little things that make the day better!!
Ahhhhh, great question!! I renew my spirit by being in nature and connecting with my community hopefully lifting somebody elses spirit while i’m at it. Angela’s bars look awesome!! yum, yum!!!
I do some yoga and followup with hot tea!
I go to my favorite warm yoga studio…nothing beats it.
I go on a long run! nothing is more rejuvinating or gives me a stronger sense of power than pounding out 10-20miles! loves it!
I like to chill and read in bed, or go out to breakfast/lunch with my best friend!
I renew with a run or some yoga. Exercise helps renew me after a stressful day. If I’m just tired I love a nice bubble bath with some epsom salts. Relaxes the day away.
yoga yoga yoga!!!
running helps me to renew my spirit. no matter how blue i might feel. a good run is the cure that ails yah…
To renew my spirit, I run a hot bubble bath, light some candles, and read a magazine–and sometimes eat a little chocolate, too! 🙂 After my bath, I put on some yummy smelling lotion and get dressed in some cozy PJ’s and cuddle with my two cats! =^..^=
I would LOVE to try some of Angela’s bars!
A long run followed by a soothing yoga session helps to renew my spirit. I instantly feel better!
I like to go for a walk, stretch out, read a book for a while, even take a hot shower. Something that gives me a little ME time.
i like to go on runs to renew my spirit. it always helps! 🙂
http://saladdiva.wordpress.com
I renew with a hot cup of green tea and a great book. It’s a great way to escape.
To renew my spirit I like to take a book to a coffee shop, order a latte, and then read to my heart’s content. That and yoga do it for me!
I “renew” myself by spending some time at Barnes and Nobles, going for a long walk or run (especially in the fall weather), curling up with some hot chocolate and reading a good book, spending time with good friends and family, and by getting enough sleep!
I renew my spirit with a nice yoga session. Me and the mat- delightful! Nothing like focusing on just breathing to draw the focus inward.
I immerse myself in books. I go to the small used bookstore or splurge and drive to the city for Chapters. Getting lost in a book helps me feel focused when I am done.
I also like to turn off the lights, turn off the phone, and throw in a yoga DVD.
I take deep breaths and a long long hot bath.
so many have already said it but taking a walk outside is so refreshing and renewing to me because it gives me a chance to clear my head and be thankful for everything (especially in the fall because i live in michigan and get to enjoy the season change). I also love sitting on the couch with a good book, the fireplace going, and sipping something warm =)
To renew, I write and draw in my journal. I keep a diary next to my bed with different color markers. When I feel overwhelmed by a task or stuck in a rut, I take my journal, few markers and start to organize tasks.
I keep the list lenght realistic for the time period and even write fun stuff that I plan for myself such as, ‘Watch Grey’s Anatomy’ or ‘Apply face mask’.
I write inspirational thoughts around the tasks to keep me going!
I love the idea of having different markers and a journal. Very creative.
I usually blast music and sing at the top of my lungs to renew my spirit 🙂
To renew my spirit I like to read a good book!
Visit with family.
I renew with prayer, dancing and singing loudly, being incredibly silly with my husband, yoga and running. I’ve been wanting to try her amazing bars!
i make a cup of tea and read a book!
Go for a walk outside…preferably by the ocean but I’ll take what I can get!
Hot bath and a book.
My most effective strategy for renewing my spirit is getting outside for a long run in the country side or in the park with my favorite calming music on my ipod. I just turn my mind off by concentrating on my breathing, how my body feels and admiring the scenery. It always works! I come home feeling amazing!
And then I treat myself to a delicious green monster and of course, one of my new obsessions, Angela’s Endure glo bars! I can’t wait to try her Renew bars. mmmm
I love to take a bath and read a magazine. It is so relaxing and it just makes me feel whole again!
I pray. Not in a super spiritual way. I just talk to God and He talks back. I also love laughing with my friends.
I know it is cheesy, but I take a walk and/or think about how fortunate I am.
To renew my spirit I soak in a hot bubble bath with a candle, cup of herbal tea, glass of water and my favorite magazines. My favorite time to do this is right before bed. I sleep like a baby afterwards when my mind is cleared and my body is in a state of complete relaxation. Bliss!
to renew my spirits i put on sweats, get a snack and veg out in front of the tv for a bit, also seeing my friends and family always help, and DUH hugs are a must if i really need a boost
I’ve been eyeing Angela’s bars for awhile now, contemplating a order and then stressing over WHAT I would actually order. All of her goods look so yummy. 🙂
What renews my spirit? A kick ass workout! Whenever I start feeling down about myself, causing mental, emotional and physical exhaustion, I head to the gym. Working out all the bad energy, along with gaining an increase in endorphins, usually boosts me out of my slump. Not to mention, it’s always inspiring to see what my body is capable of.
What would I do without my gym membership? I really don’t know…
I put on some good old 80’s Madonna and dance around my apartment by myself!
mmmmm! to renew my spirit i take a run!!
i’ll ship your package on monday!
I take time away from all the hussle and bussle and play with my sweet girls. We laugh and giggle and dance and tickle and it just doesn’t get any better than that for me. It helps take my mind off all the craziness in life!!
A nice, warm bubble bath always helps me renew!
Holy smokes you have a LOT of comments!!! I LOVE IT!!! I read blogs to renew my spirit. And that’s what I’m working on right now! 🙂
to renew myself, i download a bunch of new, fun music and go for a run!
I am so excited about the giveaway. Something I do to renew is find quiet time to do a little bit of yoga or at least reflection each day.
To renew myself, I like to spend time doing things I enjoy! A quiet couple of hours of pampering myself with a home facial, followed by reading a good book or watching a movie with a yummy snack and cup of tea makes me feel amazing!!
Sham
i “renew” myself by having an amazing workout. I always feel amazing afterwards!
I read, take a hot bubble bath, and spend time with my friends and my boyfriend when I’m feeling like I need some refreshment!
I have an array of tricks, depending on the time I have, and what kind of renewing I need. Like everyone, a nice bubble bath with a good book helps me out, but I also try to wrestle with my puppy several times a day (we’re almost equal in size and weight, so it’s a bit like a tasmanian devil whirlwind). I try to get together with some girlfriends every other month or so for a night out singing karaoke, too! None of us is exceptionally good– but I love that rockstar feeling of being on stage. It really does it for me.
Great question and giveaway to lure in a newbie such as myself! 🙂 I’ll be back!
