stimulated
Got going again
Stimulated means aroused to activity or heightened response.
A stimulated economy shows increased activity; a stimulated nerve fires more readily.
The word often appears in scientific and medical contexts: The drug stimulated hair growth.
Stimulated can also mean artificially prompted rather than occurring naturally: stimulated emission of radiation.
In casual use, feeling stimulated suggests mental engagement or excitement: The conversation left me feeling stimulated.
