Have you ever climbed into a warm bath, turned off your phone, and promised yourself you would finally relax, only to find your mind racing through your endless to-do list? It is a classic modern riddle. We schedule our self-care, yet we treat relaxation like an Olympic sport. We try so hard to unwind that the act of unwinding begins to feel like just another chore on our checklist.

Our brains are conditioned to treat every single moment as an opportunity for productivity. We struggle to draw a clear line between the time we spend working and the time we spend simply existing. This constant mental noise leaves us feeling tired even after a full night of sleep.
