looking to crowdsource responses, RTs appreciated:
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”

this moment almost exactly a year ago might’ve been the last time i felt relaxed. i probably have not felt relaxed for a total of longer than an hour since
