Feeling youthful, fresh, and renewed in spirit and energy. Having a restored sense of vitality that makes one feel younger or more alive.
From Latin juvenis meaning 'young' with the prefix 're-' meaning 'again,' literally 'made young again.' The term originally described physical restoration but expanded to include emotional and spiritual renewal that recaptures youthful energy and optimism.
Rejuvenation involves more than just feeling rested - it includes recapturing qualities we associate with youth like curiosity, playfulness, and optimism about the future. Research shows that people who regularly feel rejuvenated actually show slower biological aging, suggesting that youthful feelings may have literal anti-aging effects.
