Importance of Rest and Relaxation for Happiness
Rest and relaxation play a vital role in experiencing happiness. The podcast discusses how chronic stress and the societal pressure to always be productive hinder the ability to rest. For many, the constant need to prove worth through activity keeps the mind in a state of fight or flight, making it difficult to relax. This lack of rest makes it challenging to feel happiness, as the body remains in a heightened state of stress, unable to fully experience moments of joy and pleasure.
