Hello and welcome!

The Online Community Team recently published a blog about giving yourself 'permission' to rest and relax. If you'd like to take a look, you can find it here:

Feeling guilty when you rest - relaxation, hobbies and self-care during cancer fatigue

While writing, it got us wondering: what do our Online Community members like to do when they need a break? We have many thousands of members, so there must be many thousands of different ideas out there. We thought it might be handy to have a thread where you can share your favourite relaxation activities with other Community members, and in turn it could be a great place to pick up some new ideas for yourself.

So now it's over to you. What are your favourite things to do when you need some rest and relaxation? Let us know with a reply below!

Relaxation is so important, and it’s great to see a thread like this encouraging people to share their favorite ways to unwind. Personally, I love activities that combine mindfulness with creativity, like painting or gardening—it’s a great way to clear the mind and reconnect with yourself. On a similar note, finding meaningful connections has also become a modern way to relax and feel fulfilled. With changing social norms and digital integration, online dating aligns perfectly with contemporary lifestyles, making it both practical and relevant. Platforms like asian hookup near me offer opportunities to meet new people in a way that fits into today’s busy world.
