How To Recharge Your Social Battery🔋
I struggled with feeling drained everyday for at least 5 years in my corporate job. Until I really couldn't take it anymore and I went hunting for a solution. Here's what has been working for me:
One thing I HATED was small talk.🤬
To a point where I dreaded every bathroom break, every lunch break, even having to get myself some water, I would try and avoid my colleagues. So inevitably, when I couldn't avoid them, I would feel super uncomfortable with the typical, "How was your weekend?" type of conversations.🤦🏿♂️
Until I read "How To Talk To Anyone" by Leil Lowndes. He says small talk is not about the facts, it's about putting people at ease and feeling comfortable with each other. Us introverts value deep conversations so we naturally shy away from small talk because even though we know it's somewhat useful, we still feel drained afterwards.😪
So, what works for me?
Working on some creative or meaningful task in my downtime.👨🏿💻
That's how I recharge.🔋
When I get home from work everyday, my solitude is my HIGHEST priority. If we LOSE energy from social interactions, that means we GAIN energy from doing something meaningful in our alone time. I highly suggest something creative that resonates with your values, beliefs, and interests. Even just 1 hour of this per day is enough for a recharge!
I don't step outside on weekends because I double down on my creative side hustle. So, when I get to the office on Monday, I walk into every conversation feeling like a new man because of how fulfilling my weekend was.😌
