Real Relaxation Time

Besides, this I have also been a series addict, and I watched an endless number of episodes of 5 different series on Netflix while eating breakfast or lunch in bed! Even if I have relaxed a lot, I have to say that it has been really hard for me… Every time I dedicate time to take care of myself I feel like I am wasting time and I need to do something productive and useful.
