part of
introvert life is getting really drained
drained by other people drained by
having to deal with the real world and
once an introvert is drained he or she
will need to recharge or else he or she
may possibly explode you might think
recharging is as simple as doing nothing
you might be like frank why are you even
making this video aha but that would be
like trying to charge your phone by just
putting it down and not using it for a
while
don't make much sense do it so these are
the four ways introverts need to
recharge the first way that introverts
need to recharge and these are like
methods of recharging like generally is
perhaps the most obvious which is
mindless recharging you know something
where you can just turn your brain off
it's escapism basically like watching
reality tv or playing a video game or
maybe watching the frank james channel
introverts have overactive minds always
trying to process things and it's okay
for you to unplug your mind for a while
and allow yourself to be distracted by
some dumb people on tv dude i just saw
like an episode of are you the one the
other day
it's a terrible show but great for
mindless recharging so your mind is a
machine and the machine's job is to find
problems and solve them so
by doing some mindless recharging you're
just turning that off and being like
okay no problems right now we're just
gonna recharge we're gonna refresh all
right the second way is mindful
recharging and mindful recharging
accomplishes some of the same things as
mindless recharging but in a much
different way so instead of simply
distracting the mind with something else
like a terrible tv show mindful
recharging is intentionally focusing in
on the present moment as a way of
quieting the mind introverts are always
trying to go over the past and learn
from it and they're always projecting
out into the future so focusing on the
present a time that gets often
overlooked by introverts is going to
help ground you and give you some relief
from your mind may be no surprise to you
but the simplest way to recharge
mindfully is to focus on your breath
just do it for a minute or two every
once in a while just relax and put your
attention on breathing in
and out but you can be mindful at any
time like when you're eating you can
focus in on the feel and the taste of
the food or if you're taking a relaxing
bath you can focus in on the warmth of
the water and like you know the candle
you lit that's there on the side a lot
of times when we recharge we just think
about relaxing just doing something like
you know taking a relaxing bath but
being fully present as we relax will
make the time spent recharging much more
effective and while we're here if you're
enjoying this video hit the like button
next a great way to recharge is by
feeding your mind learning new things
this is a bit more of an active way of
recharging because it's engaging your
mind but for introverts learning and
gathering more knowledge is not
something that will drain you at least
not when you're learning things that you
want to learn so yeah maybe don't try to
relax by
learning advanced mathematical theory if
you hate math maybe instead you'd prefer
to read a book about
a historical figure you're interested in
or go on the internet to learn how to
play guitar the brain of an introvert
loves to have something to chew on so by
feeding it with new information and
skills you are keeping it happy and
recharging it the fourth way of
recharging is
exploring your mind just letting it run
wild i've said it a few times in this
video that introverts need to process
things a lot and so just letting the
mind do its thing and work out
everything that's happened during the
day or the week is a good first step to
recharging i guess i shouldn't have put
it last if it's a good first step but be
careful don't over process and get stuck
so if you find yourself getting into a
spiral of processing and like your
anxiety is spiking and you're like this
isn't refreshing and recharging frank
why did you tell me to do this
just go back to one of the previous
three methods we talked about beyond
processing actual events
in the past or the future letting the
mind wander
into whatever
realm it wants to is also important so
daydreaming using your imagination it
allows an introvert to kind of exercise
the mind to stretch it out
which in the end
will help you recharge and get ready to
go back into
the real world watch this video about
