What recharges you?

Just some other guy
over 3 years ago

I have been reading / watching youtube videos about burnout, shut downs and melt downs recently.  Then violetdr3amer’s post “Burnout/sensory overload getting worse as one gets older?” put a question in my mind…

What recharges you?

I don’t mean what do you enjoy – because some things I enjoy don’t actually increase my energy levels. E.g. I had a 2 week holiday at the start of 2021 (driving around Tasmania doing some bush walks and seeing what there was to see) – I enjoyed it but found it stressful, thus returned with less energy than I had before going…

So what do you find increases your energy levels?

So far, I think these work for me:

  • Stretches
  • Walking
  • Watching a good movie
  • Reading a good (fiction) book

I’m after ideas!

    being left alone after at the end of day and not speaking to me, I don't like to say I'm nonverbal at the end of a day because I know there are autistic people who cannot talk a the end of the day but I do find it extremely annoying and energy depleting when people talk to me.

    Also playing video games that aren't intense like games where I can explore and look around I can really immerse myself in
