With the Caldera 20-Minute renewal blog , we help inspire people to realize the value of taking 20 minutes to renew, re-connect, relax and destress .  How do we do this? By providing resources and tips on the small things you can do each day to improve self-care, such as meditation . Why is meditation good for us? Meditation can help manage stress and reduce blood pressure, improve your focus, help with sleep, and help you learn to live more in the moment.   According to prominent wellness expert and blogger Dr. Andrew Weil , “meditation for healing is about establishing a different relationship with your thoughts, just for a little while. Instead of attention being drawn off by whatever thought happens to present itself, in meditation, you watch your thoughts from a different, more stabilized perspective.” Is there an app to help you meditate? Many of us are more connected than ever in terms of technology and social media. For the hyper-connected crowd, there’s actuall...

Captain America : After That Work Out…  He Needs A Hot Tub Wow what a great movie!!  I’m not gonna lie I was kind of rooting for Iron Man when I went into the theater, but after this scene.  Cap all the way!

Should I Test Soak Before I buy a Spa? At first, it seems a little odd - you narrow down the list of hot tubs you’re interested in, then go to the dealer, slip into your swimsuit and climb into a hot tub, right there on the showroom floor. If your dealer offers a test soak, take advantage of it. It’s a great way to understand what you’re buying and to compare models you’re considering. Of course, there are many factors to consider when learning about hot tub options , including brand reputation, quality, energy efficiency, customer service, warranty and projected daily operating costs. However, some impressions are best realized through experience. OK, I’m in. It Feels Great. Now What? Sure, enjoy the sensation and see how it feels to relax deeply. But you’re here to learn far more than that. Here’s what to look for as you test a hot tub: How powerful are the jets? You may not always want a deep tissue massage, but when you do, you need powerful motors to deliver it. How eas...

Do you ever have trouble talking to your teen? If the answer to that question is ‘no,’ you either don’t have a teen or you have an exceptional one. So, yes, it’s normal to have strained conversations at times. But that doesn’t mean you can’t move the dynamic toward one that’s more open. Can A Hot Tub Help? We believe a hot tub can help a lot. Based on stories from our customers and co-workers, we’ve heard it can be easier to strike up a conversation when you and your teen are sharing time in your hot tub. It’s a shared experience without distractions where everyone is more at ease and ready to talk. Once you’re there, if you still feel a little uneasy, we have a few ideas you might try to get a conversation started. By the way, we believe these ideas apply to anyone, not just teens. Closed-Ended and Open-Ended Questions Borrow a tool from any journalist and stick to open-ended questions rather than closed-ended questions. What’s that mean? A closed-ended question is one you ca...
