I recently purchased a book entitled "The Art of Rest" by Claudia Hammond. It is based on a survey of 18,000 people. A chapter is devoted to the top ten answers to what activities they find most restful. The book is well-written, and cites research for support.
Counting down:
10 Mindfulness 9 watching TV 8 daydreaming 7 a nice hot bath 6 a good walk 5 doing nothing in particular 4 listening to music 3 I want to be alone 2 Spending time in nature 1 Reading
