I talk to a male friend today who asks me, “What do you do to relax?” And I don’t have an easy or obvious answer. He tells me that when he plays golf or fishes or watches basketball he thinks of nothing else. Ditto when he is chopping wood or taking a long walk. I realize that my mind is always going and few things give me real respite from my thoughts.
This becomes a challenge: What do I do and what can I do to truly relax? Not yoga to get in shape or walking to get an aerobic benefit but what activity that is not improving any part of me: mind or body or intellect?
What do you do to relax? Really relax.
