Rejuvenate You:
As I refine the content for my upcoming 2 day rejuvenation retreat here in Queensland, Australia I find myself becoming more and more passionate about rejuvenation. I’m sleeping, breathing, reading, eating and hanging out with rejuvenation 24/7. It’s my new best friend.

It’s All About You:
Rejuvenation is all about understanding how you interact and exchange energy with the world around you at a deeper level.
It’s about being mindful of all your energy exchanges, noticing your energy suckers immediately and having a little bag of tricks up your sleeve to correct imbalances and get the flow moving again. In addition it’s about accumulating and expanding your life force energy on a daily basis. Now that’s got to be good.
As part of my plan to connect us all to the importance and bigger picture of rejuvenation I have devised five simple questions as a rejuvenation tool.
I encourage you to ask yourself the five following questions and over the next few weeks I’ll be exploring and expanding on each one a bit more. Today I am simply sowing the seed as this allows your own unique and honest responses to float to the surface.
Rejuvenation Question One:
Who or what is depleting my energy?
Rejuvenation Question Two:
How can I strengthen my boundaries?
Rejuvenation Question Three:
How can I bring balance back into my body and mind, simply and easily?
Rejuvenation Question Four:
How can I accumulate and expand my life force energy
Rejuvenation Question Five:
How can I rejuvenate my spiritual energy?
My Personal Weakness Is Question Two:
Being a Libran, we’re big on keeping the peace, love having everyone happy and as a result have trouble saying the N word. No.
My weakest boundaries are around my children. I’m a bit of a push over and will do anything for them even if it’s impractical or inconvenient for me. A turn around however, happened this morning when I developed a bit of a cold.
In the past I would get up out of bed and soldier on, however today I just didn’t get up. My body wanted and more importantly deserved more rest.
My boys all got themselves organized and off to school and the eldest off to work. I actually didn’t even ask them. There was no drama, no rushing, no upset.
Wow, I was impressed, both with my boys and myself for staying in bed and nurturing my body and spirit. Rejuvenation is one simple step at a time.

My body seems to be fighting something at the moment too and I was quite proud of myself for hopping back into bed this morning for a relaxing read of my latest Wellbeing magazine.
I have a tendency to soldier on but am continuing to focus on rejuvenating myself this month (ala your challenge 
).
I also need to work on boundaries. I’m slowly getting better BUT the guilt is something I’m still struggling with.
I always find your entries very interesting, plus I’d really like to be closer to get one of those fabulous DVDs
I’m going to think about how to link your blog to mine in one of my future entries.
Thanks for adding my pic, I think it’s perfect too
Have a nice time and see you later, ciao,
