I can see all but video games and watching TV, where again you sit in front of a screen. Doesn’t help me. Instead, I’d add hiking in the hills, forest, mountains, being outside in nature in general. Nothing is more re-energizing for me than that.
- aequitas 8y agoVideo games work for me in getting my mind to let go of the problems it's pondering about. Sometimes it's like subconscious I'm always working on some problem. Videogames at least let me forget/drown-out certain 'work'-like problems and allow me to reward myself instead with 'fun' problems. Walking often just leaves my senses empty and causes my mind to focus on the work problems again. Maybe a hike would be different as you are more exploring something new to keep your mind occupied.
- bonniemuffin 8y agoI consider "looking at trees" to be a restorative activity all on its own; hiking is merely the method by which I cause trees to pass through my field of vision. Tall green things cure what ails me.
