I just asked Siri, “How do most people relax?” She rattled off a list of activities including “Nosh on chocolate,” “Rub your feet over a golf ball,” “Count backward,” “Meditate,” and “Drip cold water on your wrists.”
Siri completely missed my favorite way to relax. I iron (not to be confused with “I pump iron,” which I do not). No, really. There’s something soothing and instantly gratifying about a good iron with a heft of heat and steam gliding back and forth over wrinkled fabric.
