“Maybe you fit squarely in one of these five categories, maybe you are a combination of all of them, or maybe you are something else completely,” offers host Corinne Morahan about the five major categories of relaxation and which one—or more—you fall into. As we get more organized, we naturally find ourselves with more free time and may be lost as to how to fill it—or worse yet—feel pressured to fill it with productivity for productivity’s sake. Instead, Corinne encourages you to take the time to figure out how you best like to spend your downtime and embrace those activities that make you feel content, peaceful and recharged. 

You may love staying home, curled up watching old reruns, or you may like to go out to dinner and a movie with friends. Perhaps you’re more likely to be found sweating it out in the gym, hiking in nature or reading a new book while sipping a latte in a cafe. You just may be a combination of two or more of all of these types, and you may have a category all your own. 

Learning to relax—and learning to allow ourselves to enjoy it—can take some time and adjustment. The more we pay attention to what truly makes us happy, the more we can make the most of our new well-earned downtime.

Quotes

• “If you are doing all this work to relax and then you can’t even relax, it’s very demotivating, and I want us to be able to really enjoy the fruits of our labor—not that you have to earn relaxation, you absolutely don’t—but I know most of you in my world are on an organizing journey, or you’ve already gotten organized and you’ve found yourself with all this extra time and you need someone to help you relax.” (2:03 | Corinne Morahan)
