Body + Soul Magazine: 20 ways to revitalize your life

June 30th, 2005

The May issue of Body + Soul Magazine [www.bodyandsoulmag.com] has these 20 tips for energizing the body and mind.

A brief encapsulation (with editorial comment added):

1. Take a contrast shower: Ice cold for 30 seconds, then nice and warm for 30 seconds. Repeat x3.
2. Morning Beverage: Cup of hot water with lemon juice and cayenne.
3. Strike out: pummel yourself with loose fists all over your body. (Um…ok, if you say so…)
4. Eat early and often: Just not big meals…
5. Stretch: ‘Nuff said.
6. Get Aerobic: Get your heart pumping!
7. Give Energy: share enthusiasm
8. Drum: As in the verb, not the noun.
9. Go to a play or concert: Support local art!
10. Be with energetic people: Just don’t be an energy vampire…
11. Spend time in nature: Not just in one spot, either. Find a variety of natural environments to enjoy.
12. Experience Art: go to a gallery or museum
13. Try a flower essence: if that’s your thing…
14. Allow yourself to be more sexual: Again, ’nuff said, unless you are a Slashdot reader, in which case, go here [Wikipedia.org] for more information.
15. Get out of your rut: Out! Out, you hear?
16. Pray/Meditate: However you are most comfortable approaching this.
17. Manage your relationship with your television: Self-explanatory
18. Stop Multitasking: Being fully engaged in each activity you perform is more satisfying
19. Give everything you do a personal touch: practice creativity in everyday life
