Is it ever possible to really relax?

Hi there. It’s been a long week. Finished my last assignment yesterday and thought yay i can relax now!

But what does relaxing actually mean? Is it watching a tv show or hanging out with your friends or going out with family or doing some Christmas shopping maybe? Because I’ve found that while I enjoy all of these things, they haven’t helped me to actually relax.

So then to relax maybe I need to just completely turn my brain off. How is that possible? Sure i can watch a movie or tv show or knit or read but all of it still feels like I’m doing a task. So how do I switch my brain off?

I guess sleeping is really where you’re most relaxed. But if i just sleep then I won’t make the most of the little free time that I have. And then again begins the cycle of searching for relaxation.

I’ll let you know if I ever find an answer to this question. But in the meant time, it’s officially Christmas now so like maybe relax i guess?
