He explains how these activities help him unwind and rejuvenate.
Shay encourages you to think about your own relaxation day, suggesting that it doesn't have to be a weekend and should include activities that truly relax and energise you. He touches on the importance of body language and physical state, drawing on insights from Tony Robbins' concept of the triad - physical state, focus, and language. Shay contrasts productive relaxation with unproductive habits like binge-watching TV, highlighting how the latter can leave you feeling worse rather than refreshed.
