refreshing

A refreshing drink or activity makes you feel revitalized and energized.

When someone says something is "refreshing," they often mean that it's cool and soothing, like a breeze on a hot day. It can also describe an experience that leaves you feeling invigorated and inspired, like going for a run in nature or listening to uplifting music. For example, if you watch a funny movie after a long week of work, the film might be refreshing because it helps take your mind off stress. In writing, "refreshing" can also describe a character who is charming and pleasant, someone who brings relief from the gloominess in a story.
