Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, "relajar" is used more often with an object (e.g., "la música me relaja") than reflexively. Avoid saying "Me relajo" unless you mean "I relax myself" (e.g., "Me relajo después del trabajo"). Also, the intensity adverb can be varied: "bastante", "muchísimo", or "enormemente" to match the speaker’s feeling.
