Is this a contrast to your daily life..?
That something might be relaxing, calls for cooperation between brain and body
probably it requires that it is something different perhaps even a full contrast to daily life
for some it is about physical activity – for other physical calm
for some it is about mental activity – for other mental calmness
the main thing is that it is a contrast to daily life
.
There are also elements of danger in this
namely that the brain or body gets a shock because of the change
it is quite common to body or brain feel unwell the first few days
some of us are very encased in our routines.
In fact, it should be embedded in our daily life
but it is rarely the way it works out
perhaps it’s the reason that freedom
when we finally get it
doesn’t meet expectations and be more jail than freedom ..?
“Running started as a way of relaxing.
it’s the only time I have to myself
no phones, e-mails or faxes”
(Gordon Ramsay – scottish chef)

We all have our own way of relaxing. Excellent post.

Thanks a lot – yeah relaxing is very subjective… 🙂
“…be more jail than freedom ..?” Thank you so much for posing the question.
Great post Drake!

Thanks a lot, so glad you like it – really appreciate your words… 🙂
Interesting post… To me, everything “contrasting” my daily life is welcome! I hate routines, but unfortunately my life is made of routines at 95%. The other 5% I have freedom because I do the best I can to get it. Sometimes my body is not well with the change but my brain is always happy and this is the most important thing. Changes, surprises, new life-styles always charme me. That’s the main reason I like travelling. 😉 Have a good (if possible relaxing) week!

Thanks a lot, really appreciates – yeah the world is so full of routines today
– so it’s very important that we aren’t just robots but remember to “steer”… 🙂
So agree. Relaxation for me is when I am able to focus on something that I enjoy. Photography, a tough climb or mountain bike ride, riding my horse at a gallop!

Just the right way to do it… 🙂
Excelente post. Ledrake. Cada vez me gusta más la tranquilidad de la naturaleza, pasear por el campo y reniego de las prisas de la ciudad, los ruidos, la contaminación… me debo estar haciendo vieja…

Thanks a lot, so glad you like it – really appreciate your words… 🙂
Yeah, agree with you – we have to take care about ourselves… 🙂
I so very much prefer the beautiful first image! 🙂
#.elena
Yeah it’s a very idyllic place… 🙂
Yes, the difference between both…and experience, knowledge to appreciate the things that make our lives more colourful, interesting, full of surprises. Especially when there’s so much of routine all the time and relaxation from that one is needed as well 🙂

I wish I could say the latter photo is in contrast with my daily life :D.

We must defeat the daily “chaos”… 🙂 😉
Relaxing, vey much, the first. The second: stress!
#.bente
Yeah the 2nd could be stress, many lose patience in long traffic jams… 🙂
ciao! i try to derive the most from all settings. to arrive to relaxation we have to experience a level of stress. a traffic jam can be a reminder that we need to be delayed, so to relax, and a pastoral setting can offer relaxing energy needed to recharge. contrasts are just so necessary.
really liked this post.
