"Doing nothing in particular" may be for sure difficult to enjoy.

I coincide there are sometimes I want to "do nothing" but as soon as I have "the opportunity" I kinda feel anxious and end overthinking.

The chapter mention that some advantages may be taken if you "do it" in the correct way, it may include better creativity and/or problem solving but in order to obtain it we must "allow ourselves a break/to rest"

"This is the age of the quantified self", for sure it is. Walking as rest is something I haven't tried yet but it also sounds a little intimidating 🤔

Thaking a bath as a way of relaxation is something I haven't tried because I haven't had the opportunity. It is curious the popularity of it. Then, maybe someday I will give it a chance.
