What is Animo?

Animo is a mental, spiritual, and emotional state of focused energy and a strong spirit. In many Latin languages animo refers to positive mood, desire, interest, clear intention, and purpose. It can also be found in English words like the verb animate (to bring to life) or equanimity (mental calmness, composure, and even temper). The name refers to aspects of a healthy mind, body, and spirit â€“ all essential elements for peak performance, satisfaction, and well-being.
