For me, it’s watching horror movies while scrolling lemmy.
Playing games with a few close friends, that or programming
Rimworld, honestly. The game is engaging enough to catch my attention in short bursts but slow enough that it isn’t overwhelming when winding down.
My husband, an introvert with autism, wanted to chime in and say that he needs some alone time with his special interest (either baseball cards or geography/maps) to fully recharge.
Another thing that helps me is taking a shower. Simple yet effective.
For me nature. I love being surrounded by nature. Sometimes I just chill on a bench with a coffe or listen to a podcast in a park, while watching the clouds pass by or watching people walk their dogs.
It sounds boring, but really helps to focus my thoughts again.
Yes!
