If you feel overwhelmed on occasion, consider trying restorative yoga. I know it seems a lot like lying down on blankets, and it is, but it’s the antidote to everything that does the trick for me.
Dedicating time to yourself and to the sole purpose of consciously letting go each body part, and your mind, is something we just do not do when we do our other “relaxing” activities, like watching TV or reading or even sleeping. It’s so easy to de-prioritize this, but letting go is just as important as go, go, going.
