5 ways to Recharge Yourself and Bring out the best you
Have you been feeling stagnant and low of energy these days?
Walking Your Path
I find it fascinating that we connect with so many people with different views and perception of life. It amazes me the wealth of knowledge we can learn from others are infinite. I love to understand the meaning of life. What is our life purpose? Why are we triggered by others? One thing I know is that we are unique in our own way. Recharging yourself can help your discovery to bring out the best you.
We all have been experiencing social distancing for the past two months now. When I have talk to people, the main thing that comes up is connecting with people again. My opinion is take this to make time to connect with yourself. There is so much opportunity to explore, enhance skill sets or learn new things. Some of us are working from home, laid off or jobless. This is the moment when you have to face you with what you really want.
5 Tips to Recharge Yourself
- Social Media Detox
I know you may be thinking to yourself “how?” We tend to be around social media wherever we go. Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok, Snapchat, Twitter, Whats’ app, you name it. I found it intriguing how much social media can consume our day. I am not expecting you to stop cold turkey but gain control on how much content you will watch or engage for yourself each day.
Consider preparing a schedule on how you want your day or week to be. Be specific with a time you will do the activity. It will keep you in the flow and focus. Think of it as adding something for you to gain insight and knowledge instead of idle time. Here is an example that may help, 9:00am-9:30am Yoga, 9:30am-10:00am Reading book (finish one chapter) etc. You should add some break (at least 15 minutes) throughout the day. This can be a time you can implement social media (if you like) and it does not control you. The main point of this is stay connected with your actions and you will see results.
2. Read a Book
During the pandemic, I have been reading some great books. It has been enlightening for me. Reading helps the mind to be active. When you brain is active, it will open up a new door for information. There are some books I recommend, Choose Your Perspective By John Martin and The Compound Effect By Darren Hardy. Love their message and how it relates to life. In addition, reading does tap into creative abilities, improves your memory, expands vocabulary, stronger analytical thinking skills and increases focus and concentration. Reading can be a great investment to yourself in the long term. Trust me.
3. Creative Hobbies
Creative outlets can help unlock untapped gifts within you. For me, trying out energy work was different but felt right. I am now a Reiki Practitioner who helps people with managing their moods and day to day tasks. Sometimes we think “I would like to do that” or “I want to do that” and we don’t do it. Why is that?
In my opinion, I think we should explore our talents and flow with it. It makes us feel alive and motivated to search for more. There is so many choices to choose from like playing an instrument, a sport, writing, singing, learning a new skill etc. This is a great way to not think so hard about your everyday essentials such as paying bills, what is going to happen in the future etc. It makes us be present in the moment and will build us up for more opportunities.
4. Meditation
I always heard about meditation and what it can do. Was skeptical about it at first. My picture of meditation was sitting down crossed legged, closing your eyes and pressing onto your finger. I am was not good being in complete silence. What has worked for me is guided meditation. This is when someone is talking to you during the session. A recommend video that is really good would be 10 Minute Chakra Balance Guided Meditation. It is not long and very relaxing after you are done. What meditation brings is relaxing the mind and makes you stay in the present.
5. Walking in Nature
I know we are limited with going to the parks and walking around now. Once we are able to go, it is a highly recommended activity to do. Nature has trees, water, fresh air and open space. It connects us with the natural world. There is an energy exchange that happens when you are by the trees, grass, water etc. Trees releases oxygen and when they use energy from sunlight. Some may have heard that hugging a tree can help relax you. This is because trees can absorb negative energy. A great blog to read would be The Benefits of Tree Hugging: Connecting with the Healing Vibrations of Nature by Ester Eckhaus. It gives you a lot of information on health benefits. There is something about being near the water that give a soothing feeling. Nature is our friend and we should take pleasure in that.

These are a few tips that continue to help me. It is important to stay connected with your feelings and embrace new opportunities.

I have been doing most of your tips except walking in nature. It’s not possible for me as of the moment. I had beach plans for this summer and they are now all gone with CoViD. I shall go to the beach as soon as it’s already okay to do so.
Cool. You can do as much as you can. As long as you feel good and right about it. All the best in your recharge journey!!🤗
These are all great suggestions for recharging! I love my social media breaks. I purposely leave my phone at home some times or leave it in my room in the evenings during family time. It is nice to break away!
You are doing a great job. You are aware and know what to do. Keep it up Adrienne!!!🤗
I love these ideas! For Mother’s Day my siblings and I all decided to do some type of art project for our mom as a funny way to have an old school flashback gift for her. It was interesting how we all commented how nice it felt to take some time to just be creative and artistic. It really was a great way to recharge and reconnect with myself!
Love your ideas they are much helpful and unique…Thanks for sharin gonna surely give a chance to these…💯💖
Love your tips, able to relate to most of them since I make a point to take out some time for the things that I love doing, I think its very important for our overall personality development
I am currently doing a course so my screen time is a bit more than normal and the course is based on social media so I have to use it. However, getting out into nature is the one thing that refreshes my soul.
Reading is definitely a release for me! I love it and find myself feeling much better when I spend some time reading every day.
Walking with nature is one of my favorite activity here in Australia. It helps me to recharge and not feel the stress.
What an inspiring post. I always find taking time to myself to read or to go for a lovely walk always recharges my batteries.
My best moment is to walk in the nature alone. Meditation is good as well but for me it is not something that special so I often don’t feel that much of result from it
This is a timely post for me. The lockdown period has started to take its toll and I’m in need of a serious recharge.
for me – Reading a book and doing my Hobbies are the best ways to recharge. it was interesting to read your perspective on this.
Great post. Nice ideas. I love to read.
I love your article! I have am also embarking on somewhat the same journey. I’ve made positive rules for myself for this year to follow. I also started practicing mindfulness and also consciously remembering the law of attraction. And yes, reading on motivational books help a lot!
I love this post! Thanks for bringing up these great points. To be the best version of ourselves, we need to bury our old ways that don’t work and start embracing the pains to make us better! <3
I have done all these routine due to the reason that we’ve been quarantined for the past 2 months. And I agree to you! It do help one person’s soul, mind and body to be recharged!
I agree with all you’ve mentioned above. Every day I do social media detox and turn into gardening for the hours that I’m not in social media. Ohh it feels good!
This such a timely post. It so important to slwo down and give your self time to breath and recharger.
I tried social media detox and oh my god, it works drastically well!
Thank you so much for writing this post. We all need sometimes to take a break and recharge. A social media break is the first step to conserve your energy. I shared on Twitter so many people access this fabulous article.
In these times, we should learn to appreciate simple things and mind what our body needs.
We really need to distance ourselves from social media towards renewing and taking care of ourselves.
I like what you said about social media break. We all need to shut off ourselves from social media.
I’m hoping to take a break from social media soon. I feel like I’ve spent WAY too much time online during lockdown. I’ve treated myself to a couple of new novels so I’ll have to give them a read in an afternoon instead!

Recharging myself has been something that I haven’t been able to do for quite some time. Hopefully soon.
I’m an NYC tour guide. And I can’t do tours now, so I’m reading books that relate to the two tours that I run.
I think I do all this to recharge, its needed. Its especially needed with everything thats going on. To be in nature and take it all in. To be reading and distracting the mind is good.
I would honestly love to meditate.i guess guided meditation is the best for beginers.
It’s been a while since I’ve detoxed from the internet. I gotta do it again!
These are some awesome tips to recharge myself and bring out the best in me I can never get enough resources to help me do that and this is a good one.
These are some really great tips! Recently I’ve been trying to find some new ways to recharge, so this post came at a perfect time.
It is soo important to recharge and take care of yourself. Especially right now. I’ve been trying to read more and take breaks from social media. Plus a little exercise usually helps.
I do all of those self care practices so I’m not doing badly. I add prayer to my mix and listening to uplifting music helps me a lot.
