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 keep trying to answer this but get tangled up on how many different phenomena I seem to have categorized as "rest" or "relaxation"

there is something about high-arousal vs low-arousal states and activities, here (not exclusively the sexual kind of arousal) rest feels to me like "any reprieve from any high-arousal state that leaves you feeling capable of going back into that high-arousal state"
