What does relaxation look like for you? We know there are levels to this but we are talking about the relaxation that involves letting go and not thinking or stressing. 

Have you ever actually had this experience? Maybe? No? Don’t worry. For all our Type A people this episode is for you.

Know that relaxation is not sitting down watching a documentary or using your day off to organize your closet. Relaxation means that you are truly taking the time to bring your energy fuel tank from E(mpty) to F(ull). What does that look like? Listen in as Terri and Dom walk us through how to take notice when we are carrying stress or tension and strategies we can implement to engage in authentic relaxation.
