What helps you relax?

[@andrelucke1436]

Knowing i did all the things that needs to be done. If i dont do my Training, Work or other things i think i dont deserve relaxing. I need 2 earn it.

Yoga and practicing mindfully relaxing my muscles…deep breaths…speaking to myself, saying it’s ok to relax…

[@dale116dot7]

Listening to records. I don’t do it often enough. I find that getting up every 15 or 20 minutes to flip the record over and then listening is kind of a meditative process.

[@CalmlyCoping]

@@dale116dot7 I love listening to records!

I feel guilty sleeping 5 hours a night, I need to hear this.

[@CalmlyCoping]

You deserve to rest and recharge!

[@momashtilas]

Same here mate. Sleeping teleports me to the next day, which is work. I know I need it (sleep), but want to overcompensate the hours at work so I don't act like a robot, working eating sleeping. I end up sleeping 7hrs tops, usually something like 6. It's a freaking loop.

Holy s***I work for sixty years finery retired and I feel guilty as hell. This really hit home

[@essence____beauty_92]

This is what I needed to hear my goodness sometimes it’s hard for me to sit still even on my day off & I do try my best to go & not do too much responsibilities thank you so much

[@leonardoandresvetencourtp3869]

Thank for putting this out here, now I can finally chill for real without beating myself up!

[@CalmlyCoping]

You're welcome, Leonardo! I'm glad this was helpful for you.

[@lorreinekennedy7674]

I only know how to be productive, so sitting down or seeing friends causes me massive guilt. I’m not giving my husband enough attention (he says it’s fine, as he can see how hard I’m working). I end up working late into the evening to make up any time I have off. I have no boundaries, no matter how many times I tell myself that I’m only going to work x hours, i just have to clear the work in front of me, so i keep going. It doesn’t make me happy (completing the work) I just feel relieved and wait for the next tsunami of work to hit me. I feel on edge when I sit down, and usually end up tidying up. I feel I must do something all the time so I don’t waste time. I’m considering retiring, and could probably afford to do so, but I worry about who I will be without work.

You're not alone, Lorreine! I think you'll find this video I made on how to find your identity outside of work helpful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pprGoXVjis19h7c

[@c7bluerose]

I feel anxiety just signing up for your training and scheduling a time to watch it on my calendar. Soooo weird

[@CalmlyCoping]

Not weird! It can bring up discomfort to take steps to start working on yourself and making changes because oftentimes we tend to avoid these things- that anxiety in this situation can be a good sign!

[@JohnShreve-hw8zm]

Only every time I sit down…

[@bwnco]

Good large girl, 3 minutes in and you still haven't said how to do it.This is killing your viewership.I'll never watch it again
