What do you do to restore your energy?

Hey, Rock music is how I prefer to relax. I always get a jolt of energy and a happier mood when I hear this. I'll also go for a quick walk to get rid of my bad energy. I'll also try hanging out with friends, playing with kids (you know their innocence and joy will make us better), and engaging in my hobbies.

There's some good tips on the huberman lab podcast. Getting exposure to natural light is pretty important. I find going for a run outside works really well - exercise and light exposure. Morning exercise gets me fired up for a few hours but I normally have an afternoon dip if I am not careful. I find that doing micro workouts (e.g. 30 seconds of squats/pushups/crunches) every 20 minutes keeps me energized throughout the day. I built the micro workout feature into my app (focusbear.io) and have had some really big changes in energy levels, mood and productivity.

regular exercise, sufficient sleep, a balanced diet, meditation, spending time in nature, pursuing hobbies, and managing stress. These practices promote physical and mental well-being.
