Literary notes about Invigorating (AI summary)

In literature, the word "invigorating" is employed to evoke a vivid sense of renewal and stimulation, often describing the refreshing quality of nature or experiences that reawaken the body and spirit. It appears in portrayals of natural elements, such as a bracing sea breeze or crisp mountain air that revitalize the senses [1][2], and extends to more abstract forces, imbuing moments of introspection and emotional awakening [3][4].
