Resting can take various forms, and the most interesting aspect is that everyone has their own methods to relax both body and soul.
Different types and activities of relaxation are discussed by the Psychology Online portal.
Emotional relaxation
Find time and space to express your feelings. Engage in activities that bring you positive emotions or a sense of tranquility. Healthy and trusting relationships with others can also bring emotional relief and release.
Social relaxation
Surround yourself with people who support and nourish you, with whom you feel comfortable. Also, don't forget to spend time alone to recharge. This can also be a form of relaxation.
Creative relaxation
Enjoy the beauty of nature, and works of art, or engage yourself in art. Paint, sing, sculpt with clay—choose anything that you enjoy.
Sensory relaxation
Bright screen lights, background noise, and the numerous sounds of work chats can overstimulate our sensory systems. During the workday, simply close your eyes for a minute. After work, give yourself some time without gadgets, and turn off notifications in work chats.
