I find that reading fiction and walking in nature recharge me. Try hiking a 6 - 10 mi (round trip) trail at a nearby state / national park. If that seems helpful, find a couple national parks that you think are really beautiful, and spend a week or two hiking around. (I recommend Canyonlands, which is good for a couple days, and it's nearby Arches, Bryce, Zion, and Capitol Reef national parks, as well as Monument Valley.) Another option is long-distance walking trails. I did the West Highland Way in Scotland recently. I found it challenging, beautiful, and purposeful. It's 97 mi, which can be done over 7 - 8 days (although I recommend a few rest days), so it's not the 6 month commitment the Pacific Crest Trail, Continental Divide Trail, and Allegheny Trail are. England / Scotland have all kinds of walking trails. I heard about a 100 mi trail around Iceland, too. Anyway, it's very feasible, there are hotels along the way if you don't feel like camping (book ahead, 80k people walk the WHW every year), and there's camaraderie with the people you meet. The US doesn't really have walking trails except for backpacking in the wilderness, but a biking tour might have a similar effect.
