It’s a New Year and time to reflect on your life’s choices. Are you living the life you want? Do you feel stressed or out of balance? Since the mind, body and spirit are all interconnected; stress, poor health and negative energy all impact areas of your life. Tiffany Lymon, CEO of Pearls of Pursuit Coaching and Expert Advisor for National Association Women on the Rise, says, “Often times women, are dealing with competing internal and external pressure from the demand of balancing work, life, family and community, not to mention themselves – and these pressures can leave a woman feeling stretched, unappreciated and unfulfilled.”

Does this describe you? If so, here are 4 ways to rejuvenate your life.
