00:24 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.

01:28 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.
