When most of us think about relaxation and rest, we think about vegging out on the couch, lazily watching TV, a movie or mindlessly scrolling social media. This isn't actually as rejuvenating as you might think.
Sure it's not physical or extraordinarily mentally taxing...but you are still being bombarded with stress, you're on alert, and being stimulated, still getting dopamine hits, and cortisol spikes.
Remember stress can be real or perceived. All the negative, violent, and hurtful images and scenes we see on TV are received in our brains much like if we were witnessing those events in real life. Still causing loads of stress!
