Why You Can’t Relax Even When Everything Is Fine

You finally have time to rest. Nothing is wrong. There’s nothing urgent you need to do. So why can’t you relax? For some people, slowing down doesn’t feel peaceful. It feels uncomfortable. Your mind starts racing, you feel guilty for doing nothing, and even when life is going well, you can’t quite switch off. In this video, we explore the psychology behind that feeling — from worry and stress to the pressure to always be productive. And why sometimes, learning to rest means understanding what your mind has been trying to protect you from. If you’ve ever felt exhausted but unable to relax, this one’s for you.
