Hmm, what do I do when I want to refresh my spirit/ability to choose to be happy. The first activity that comes to mind is my habit of watching YouTube. I either go on there to listen to radio show hosts, commentators, animal recordings, or dance videos. I've noticed patterns that I have that led me to this reason: whenever I'm feeling discouraged, lonely, fustrated, or done with a situation in life, I go and watch positive videos, dance videos or videos that I heard a quote from that sticks out to me concerning what I'm feeling at the moment. I think it has something to do with me being an introverted person or just a habit bottling feelings inside that I don't know what to do with at the time.
It possesses the characteristics of a way to calm down when I think about it; it allows me to get away to myself, breath, think about what's bothering me, get to a place where I have to make a decision of if I want to face the problem or not, make that decision and find a video that fits what's going with my me. I feel it helps refresh hope in my ability to handle what's going on in life. When I get discouraged, I tend to slow down progress in my life. I get stagnant and allow opportunities to pass by. I may still be working on my craft, but it all comes out the same. I get encouraged by watching other people or reading up on their experience. Sometimes I get distracted with another interest. I noticed that when I get overworked or burned out with one passion, another part of my interests catches my attention. I'll spend days to months on it. It'll all depend on what I'm going through or what I'm burned out on.
The only other way that I try to refresh without using the Internet, is simply through prayer. When it's too overloading and I am at the point where I feel inside that I need to get away, I know it's time to go into my prayer closet, get quiet, and let it go to God. Especially, when it's too the point where I'm crying because I feel overloaded. Overall, I get still and quiet when everything is loud and all over the place.
