It's really just trying to provide an opportunity where
00:27
people can really demonstrate how good they are at relaxing.
00:30
We know that life is pretty busy, it's pretty stressful,
00:33
and we know that people are generally
00:35
quite good at relaxing.
00:36
So it's trying to create an environment where
00:38
we can see how good people are actually at doing it.
00:40
So Snug's actually never sponsored anything before,
00:43
let alone a brand new sport.
00:44
But as soon as we heard from the Extreme Relaxing Federation,
00:48
we were super excited to jump on this.
00:49
There's a lot of crossover between relaxation and comfort,
00:52
so it just felt like the perfect fit for Snug to get involved.
00:54
When I first heard about the Extreme Relaxing Championships,
00:57
I thought I'm qualified for that.
00:59
I've been training a lot-- meditation, TV,
01:01
just seeing how fast I can relax after a stressful day.
01:04
We all live in a really busy world
01:06
where lots of distractions 24/7.
01:09
And I think, ultimately, relaxing
01:11
is a way of helping our bodies to recover.
01:14
It's a way of helping us to maintain our mental health
01:16
and well-being.
01:16
So it speaks to those agendas about helping
01:19
people to live more nourishing and more positive,
01:22
mentally healthy lives.

I don't really win much things often,
01:30
but it feels so good to win this time.
01:32
I just always try to keep my cool with things.
01:35
I've worked in quite a lot of fast-paced restaurants
01:38
in my lifetime.
01:39
And I have a three-year-old as well,
01:40
so it keeps me quite on my toes all the time.
