Relaxation

I cannot seem to relax. School is done for the year. I have a three month vacation. I keep thinking about all the projects I want to accomplish and all the responsibilities I need to take care of. Argh.

Instead of relaxing, I browse Facebook, play Mahjong, and watch Monk on Netflix. Aren't those relaxing tasks, you ask? Sure. But they are all worthless, meaningless relaxation techniques. What I really want to do is cook a fancy meal or read one book after another while sipping tea. 

I think I'm going to make a conscious effort to relax in meaningful ways next week. I don't care if I have dirty dishes on the counter or clothes that have been in the dryer for three days. I'm going to sit down with a book and read it until I'm satisfied. Then I'll tackle those dishes.
