What are simple ways to recharge your batteries?

by
•
Hey hunters! Being involved in work for a long period of time leads to feeling exhausted and emotionally drained. But for our physical and mental well-being it is vital to take a few minutes each day to recharge our batteries to find the energy to get on with whatever lies ahead. Personally, I prefer taking a short walk with music. And how do you recharge your batteries to stay productive?

I read it long ago somewhere (otherwise I would have shared a direct link to it) It basically meant something like- If you are physically tired, mental activity will relax you and if you are mentally tired, physical activity will relax you! So when I am really tired with studies, work, and everything mentally exhausting- I do some quick on-the-spot exercises or take a short brisk walk or just take a 5-minute break and stretch like a cat just waking up from sleep- works wonders for me!

Sometimes I just stare into nothing actually and try my best not to "think". I would also go for a walk if it's sunny and sit/stand under the sun.

- Setting boundaries to avoid work seeping into home life. If I'm constantly having to work late, my manager needs to know and I need to re-evaluate my work load. - Making sleep a priority. You can't recharge your batteries if you're running on empty. - Getting outside. A walk around the block does wonders for my battery, especially if it's with my wonderful husband. It's a time to vent, exercise and load up on that vitamin D! - Remembering to enjoy life. This means taking PTO and step away from the office and work to laugh with my kids, spend time with my husband, etc. - DANCING! I love zumba and werq. If I can burn calories, recharge my batteries and feel better? BONUS! For me, the daily recharge is fine but focusing on the healthy habits is where it's at.

for me, it is staying away from the phone, news, and just reducing digital intake
Daria

Take the pup for a walk! And also just sometimes even taking a short nap. I used to not believe in naps but recently I've started getting more into short ones (less than 30 min) and even though I don't totally fall asleep, it really does feel restful and recharging. I look up YouTube videos for 30 min meditation for naps and i find it really relaxing and helps me wake up ready to tackle the afternoon.

@britt_joiner Interesting way! Thanks for sharing!

Go out for walks, listening to guided meditation, small stretch exercises, etc.

WFH really helps with this. Most days I'm out watering the garden over lunch time - getting a bit of sun (Vit D) every day. Once or twice a week I take and extended break and go for a run / bike ride - something that gets the heart going. What I could be doing better is getting more sleep - but with a day job + side project + family - this is the area of a little compromise (about 7 hours when I should be aiming 8 - 9)
Daria
@malcolm_jack Yeah, sleep is really important! Thanks a lot for sharing!
