Nice Article!
Yesterday I was reasoning to my self wether it is a major life skill to know how to relax yourself, so your article very much resonated with me. If life gets tough, I know several activities I can do to calm myself down, life having a bath, meeting special friends, going to my local makerspace. My boyfriend is currently doing his masters thesis and often on the brink to burnout because he cannot disconnet from his work and it haunts him. So we try to figure out some relaxing activities.

This is one of those topics that seem trivial, but actually are key to your mental wellbeing.
