An eBay survey of 2,000 adults in the UK suggests that the simplest, and sometimes most unsuspected, daily activities can be effective ways to relax
Taking a hot bath, exercising, reading or meditating are just some ways to unwind after a hard day. However, a survey suggests that some people much prefer to kill two birds with one stone, turning to certain household chores in their search for inner calm.
With mental health now a major concern worldwide, it is also the subject of a great deal of scientific research into new strategies for combating stress and anxiety. Recent studies have shown that exercise, mindfulness, listening to music or playing a musical instrument, could all be part of the solution. But are these recommendations really followed by the average person? Or do people find happiness, if not relaxation, elsewhere? An eBay survey of 2,000 adults in the UK suggests that the simplest, and sometimes most unsuspected, daily activities can be effective ways to relax.
