Ask HN: How do you relax (your mind and your body)?
I am a software developer that also does some product and marketing work, and I often work 7 days a week up to 16 hours a day. Recently I've been suffering severe muscle tensions (mostly neck) that prevent me from doing my job for clients and working on my own projects (symptoms include pain, nausea and dizziness - all doctors told me I'm perfectly healthy btw.). My problem seems to be that I can't relax. Well, my body can't anyway. I've started getting therapeutic massages, tried different chairs, pillows, took a week off with my girlfriend at a lake etc. but these things, if at all, only seem to help temporarily. I mostly enjoy my work, so I don't think its some sort of burn-out problem (but I suppose I might be wrong..?).
I'm hoping to uncover some good, perhaps a little unconventional, recommendation here. Perhaps there's even food that might help? Or DIY-acupuncture? Who knows..
