Whether you’re in business or not, life is pretty full on for most of us. Personal Development also means looking after our mental health so that we are better able to be more effective and efficient no matter what it is we are doing. To do it is essential we spend time rejuvenating ourselves.
The definition I most like for the word, REJUVENATION, is “to give new life or energy”.
That is exactly what we want to do, manage our energy so that we are able to replenish it.
I find the best way to do this, is do something completely different from I am currently doing. This allows me to disconnect from what I have been preoccupied with and “just let go” .
It can be something that takes as little as a few minutes or much much longer.
Sundays are principally my days to rejuvenate although I also make sure I do so on all other days of the week.
Today being a Sunday, was such a day. One of my favourite activities is to walk from Clovelly Beach to Bondi Beach on the east coast of Sydney. It takes about an hour.
What I most love is to feel the sun on my face, smell the sea in the air, hear the crashing of the waves and just observe people having fun.
Today I did this walk with friends. We enjoyed a great lunch at Bondi Beach and then walked back again.
As I was walking I noticed a whole lot of different ways in which people were rejuvenating themselves. I have to say this made me also feel very grateful for living where I do. So here is what I saw plus a few other ways you can rejuvenate yourself too:

1. Take a long walk.

2. Play a game. It could even be a game of cards!

3. Lie on the beach. (Don't forget sun protection!)

4. Have a fun lunch with some friends.

5. Get some exercise.
6. Have a good laugh!
7. Meditate or daydream.
8. B R E A T H E in and out deeply ten times.
9. Get a good night’s sleep.
10. Take a holiday.
You are the only one who can rejuvenate yourself so stop whatever you are doing and take a break! Doing any of the above or anything else you can think of is also a great way to distract yourself and when we do this, we feel good as we have fun. When we feel good we allow ourselves to be aligned with who we are and attract everything we want in our lives.
Think about those areas in your life where you are more likely to compare yourself to others. What can you do to break the cycle?
Be Happy!
