Today, we're unpacking a question close to my heart and crucial for our mental health—how do we relax? Inspired by a client's struggle with finding calm in the chaos, we delve deep into the art of relaxation. Together, we explore the significance of engaging with others, the transformative power of letting go, and the pivotal role of choosing productive distractions. Furthermore, I demystify mindfulness and distinguish between functional and dysfunctional ways to unwind. I also share my personal relaxation go-tos: learning, exploring, writing, and surrounding myself with relaxed, supportive people. Join me on this journey to not only discover relaxation techniques but to live a legacy worth remembering.
