I think it's any time I'm enjoying what I'm doing, and not *also* thinking that I should be doing something else.

Hiking/exertion can be rest/relaxation... so can work-like things. In any case I think I feel "re-energized" in some way after.
Like, sometimes if I have too much social interaction or stimulation I want to "rest" through focused learning about something...

but what does that *feel* like?Replying to
hmm bodily maybe it feels like "de-activation" sort of, similar to switching from sympathetic-dominant to parasympathetic or smth? Similar feeling from eating a large and satisfying meal, or taking CBD, except it can be through/while doing/engaged?
