Well, he goes online, of course.Chungahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02744686518428244041noreply@blogger.comBlogger11100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2201633396579916490.post-21110596732117068772009-03-30T19:12:00.000-07:002009-03-30T19:34:38.452-07:00<div>So what recharges you? So recharging often means adding "balancing activities" to your life. </div><div><br /></div><div>If you are a hard-working landscaper, you may recharge best through some rest and a few hours of screens - Wii, WOW, or email.   <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Since I mostly sit at a desk for a living, I get recharged by things that are quite physical - most unlike computers. So - I like rough hiking in thick woods...I like to build things and carve wood with a chainsaw.  I don't spend much time it in front of  screens (computer, TV) after doing it on the job all day.  An interesting exeption is that I do get recharged through writing (thus the blog). </div><div><br /></div><div>Of course, the recharge principle is not true for everyone. Many of my co-workers go home and play online games for hours after looking at screens all day. The important thing is to know what recharges <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">your</span> batteries, and spend the time do do this so you stay mentally and physically healthy.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2201633396579916490-2111059673211706877?l=wildchunga.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Chungahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02744686518428244041noreply@blogger.com0
