new lease of life
Revitalized second chance
A new lease of life is a chance to continue with renewed energy or improved circumstances.
The phrase suggests someone or something has been revitalized after decline or stagnation: The surgery gave her a new lease of life.
It applies equally to people recovering health, relationships finding fresh purpose, or old buildings getting renovated.
American English often uses "new lease on life."
