Hey folks! Daily social media is part of my routine to spread the word about what I'm working on. It's awesome to see everyone's wins—it lights a fire under me. But then I hit overdrive and burn out. Takes me weeks to feel normal again. Does this happen to you? How do you keep up your energy?

I enjoy things like yoga, exercise, and movies or shows since they're very immersive and almost make you kind of forget yourself. Art is also great. Anything like painting, wood working, crotchet, cycling, playing music, photography, ceramics, exercise hiking. All these are great ways to not only relax but also encourage the other side of your brain that's less "organizational/logical" and more free and creative, altogether important for healing and replenishing just as sleep. For example, you can even join local groups or classes for something related to this so you reeeeally go for a ride every week. I know of many adults that attend ceramics or art classes or even languages at colleges to unwind in free time as an enriching activity. If you have the means, go to a spa weekly to get your skin taken care of or a nice massage. Stuff like that You're not "thinking"/producing, you're just letting yourself be taken for a ride in the activity. Just live lol it's not all work, do your normal free time life just give it it's time daily.

In other words whatever activities during which your mind goes blank or silent are good, ideally tending toward artistic can be very "therapeutic" and relaxing for the mind
