what sorts of activities feel like “rest” or “relaxation” to you? how can you tell? what do “rest” and “relaxation” feel like to you? physically? emotionally?

i really should’ve emphasized the second and third parts of the question: how can you tell that you’re resting / relaxing and what does it feel like to rest relax, concretely?
e.g. “i feel at peace. there is no tension in my body. my chest and stomach feel warm. i feel light”

I didn’t understand this until I got a concussion, and then I couldn’t avoid understanding it even if I had wanted to

rules of thumb:
no activity involving a screen or text is in the maximally restful tier
mind-wandering while lying around is in the maximally restful tier
any activity involving BOTH a screen AND text is not in the top half of most restful things

completely serious question, not rhetorical in the slightest: how do you know what you wanna do?
