How to Relax... Actually.

Join me, Shawna Krueger, on an episode about the truth behind relaxation. In this episode, I explore the concept of relaxation, challenging common misconceptions and emphasizing the importance of doing things for joy rather than obligation. I discuss the significance of slowing down, breaking free from information addiction, and finding personal practices that work for individual relaxation. I also highlight the role of preventative care in maintaining a relaxed state and the impact of deadlines on stress levels. I wrap up the episode with a reminder of the power of connection and self-comfort in navigating life's challenges.
