What is relaxation?

For you? To stop your existential crisis hamster to calm the fuck down. How about you should be lifting heavy and relaxing is akin to repair.

Gotta give context to your definitions or else you'll get lost in abstract adhd space.

You will never be disciplined all the time. You brain isn't meant to.

Life needs to be balanced.

You are awake for 16h/day and you are asleep for 8h/day. If you sleep to much, you are lazy or depresses, if you sleep to little your mind and body will be weak.

You eat some of the time during the day and you don't eat most of the time. If you eat to much, you are getting fat, if you eat to little you will wither away.

You will workout an hour a day and you will not work out for the rest of the day. If you work out all the time your body will not build muscle and you will stress it to much, if you don't work out you will not gain any muscle and even lose more as you get older.

Just like that you will have to be disciplined most of the time (do your chores, study, work out, eat well, get enough sleep and brush your teeth) and you will have to relax (take a nice long bath, go out to a bar, cook something nice with friends or just take a walk) sometimes to give your mind the security of not always being on edge.

If you are always disciplined you will not enjoy life and your heart will grow cold, if you are only relaxed you will regret the life you've lived and your heart will be weak in the face of adversity.

Relaxing is not stressing over future or past. You need to let it all go for a bit and focus on present, meditation works well.

The reason is cortisol. It's a hormone released when you're stressed out about goals, pussy, whatever.

Enjoy the journey not the results.
