invigorating
Giving new energy
Invigorating describes something that fills you with energy or vitality.
A brisk morning walk can be invigorating; so can a cold shower, a challenging debate, or a change of scenery.
The word suggests renewal and stimulation: The mountain air was invigorating.
What invigorates varies by person—some find crowds energizing while others need solitude.
