Relax

What does relax mean? 

There could be many different meanings. For some, it means doing nothing. For some, it means doing something. 

Perhaps doing something seemingly relaxing can really have the effect as such but what if it does not? What can we do then? 

Is going for a spa relaxing? 

If it is purely spa and not signing up for a spa package that could mean relaxing. But if it involves signing up a package and having to go to the same spa doing the same treatment regardless of rain or shine, that could induce stress in some. 

Is watching a movie relaxing? 

If it is a movie that could help the mind wander off into fantasy, that could mean relaxing. But if it is a movie with negative inputs, it is the total opposite of relaxing and unfortunately, most movies promote exactly that. Why? It is because the public love watching such movies with zombies, fights, twists, and etc. These movies are full of excitement and we would never fall asleep in the cinema. Even children movies and cartoons will have some if not all the elements, whether we realize it or not. These elements keep viewers hooked to the movie and remember for a long time. Then, there are merchandise for them too. 

What does this mean? 

If we do realize, everything in our lives seem to have something to do with money. Signing up the spa package needs and means money. Getting hooked in a movie and buying merchandize needs and means money. Perhaps it is money that is the evil or the angel. 

If we are able to live peacefully with money, then we will be able to relax at all times. This requires effort. This requires understanding too. This sounds complicated but it is worth spending time thinking about. Most of us do not realize that we are at war with money. Being free from the boundaries that we ourselves have created around money is the true freedom.
