How do you mentally recharge?

"Does aₘᵢₙ=2c²/Θ ? I don't know, but wouldn't it be fascinating if it were?"
When your energy's gotten low,
And your thoughts are running slow,
How do you regain the boons,
Of owning all your mental spoons?
Do you knit new pairs of socks?
Do you watch cute vids of fox?
Or maybe view bright-hued cartoons?
Perhaps you sleep 'til after noon?
Or, perchance, what helps you most,
Is writing doggerel that you then post?
What would put me over the moon,
would be to read your reply, and soon.

Cycling on my stationary bike w/ a laptop stand, and playing video games (Destiny 2, Borderlands 3) at the same time
Outside of that, Kerbal Space Program (KSP) could easily be described as an addiction if I get really in to it. Complicated tasks/puzzles, setting your own objectives, space exploration...I've easily sunk just under three thousand hours in to it. Other games do just fine though to mix it up.
Drawing and worldbuilding scratch the same itch that KSP scratches, with the added creative outlet. And yes, my work does have certain..influences on it from time to time...Now I have become somewhat disenfranchised from the concept due to poor players, but when it goes well, roleplay also offers a way to play out some of that worldbuilding in an interactive way.
could not have done a better job.
My mental balms include drawing, writing, programming passion projects, tabletop roleplaying or simple boardgames with close friends, and napping. Add two extra spoons if doing any of these while latexed.
