Renewal in Friendships

"Recovery is an important word and a vital concept. It means renewal of life and energy. Knowing how and when to recover may prove to be the most important skill in your life." -- James E. Loehr

August brings the final days of summer, the kids are getting ready to head back to school and lots of people are gearing up for the final push for summer fun. For many this includes a vacation of sorts. What do you have planned for this month?

 Has the summer been exhausting this year? We have passed the halfway mark for the year 2022. How are you doing with your goals? Have you connected with the friends that you care about?

Future

In order to make the most of the future you need to pay attention to the present moment. Taking time to restore your spirit now will prepare you for what is to come in life and in relationships.  It is essential to pay attention to the now in order to have your brightest future.

Laughter

Is there anything better for the renewal of your spirit than a good belly laugh with friends? Taking time to slow down and find the funny in life is the equivalent to starting the day with a fully charged phone. You are ready to face what comes up because you are carefully charged.

Nurturing

In order to be renewed you will do well to find a way to nurture your soul. Think about what is nurturing for you. It will look different for everyone. Is it a long hike in nature? A warm bubble bath? Taking time to read a good book for the afternoon? There is no wrong answer here, if it restores you it is nurturing, do it!

 Tears

Do you spend energy on trying not to cry? What if letting the tears flow is what will refresh and renew you? Let the tears go, they are cleansing you from the inside out. Don’t waste energy on trying to keep them in! Releasing the tears will absolutely nurture your soul.

Acknowledge

One of the best ways to renew your soul is to acknowledge yourself and all that you have accomplished. Too often we focus on what we didn’t do, turn that around and make a list of all the things you did achieve and REALLY acknowledge yourself for every single step.

Don't forget our Authentic Friendships Connection Retreat happening in September, this will be the perfect time to renew yourself and connect with other like minded women! We can't wait to see you there!
