How I finally learned to relax

Ever since I was a little child, I’ve always heard how good it is to relax, whether it is for health, productivity, relationships or just enjoying life.

But for some reason, I’ve never been able to relax consistently, despite meditating for over two decades now. I’ve always seen myself very tensed up and it simply would not go away.
