Flexibility and voluntary action can improve adaptation when conditions change. This need may motivate proposing alternatives, selecting methods that fit one’s style, and declining unnecessary constraints. Supporting free action preserves creativity and responsible choice.
Having the freedom to choose one’s actions and methods promotes better adaptation in the face of change. When people can be flexible – for example, by suggesting alternative approaches or working in a style that suits them – they tend to respond more creatively and effectively to new challenges. Research in organizational psychology shows that autonomy (voluntary, self-directed action) at work is associated with higher innovation and problem-solving capacity (e.g., giving teams freedom in how they achieve goals boosts creativity and motivation; see Harvard Business Review 1998, “How to Kill Creativity”). By avoiding unnecessary rules and constraints and allowing individuals some latitude, we preserve their intrinsic motivation and sense of responsibility. In essence, supporting the ability to act freely nurtures creativity and helps people adapt responsibly when conditions shift.

There is such a wide diversity of video games out there. Calming exploratory games, puzzle games, combat, story, single or multiplayer, etc. Once I get in touch with the need that is alive in me it’s fun to look for a game or game genre that might tend specifically to that.
Long or short it doesn't matter. Drive around the block in silence or with music. Maybe plan a trip somewhere.
