LIFESTYLE-Why Free Time Doesn’t Always Feel Relaxing

You finally have free time.

But instead of feeling relaxed, you feel restless.

This happens when your mind hasn’t slowed down.

After being busy, your brain remains active.

Switching suddenly to rest can feel uncomfortable.

You may feel the need to “do something” instead of simply relaxing.

Transition matters.

Gradually shifting from activity to rest — through simple routines or low-effort activities — helps your mind adjust.

Because relaxation is not automatic.

It’s a state you ease into.
