I find it hard to relax right after intense exercise; my body is tired, but my mind is still alert. In a fitness community thread, someone offhandedly recommended spinking to cool down mentally. I checked it out post-workout. The visual simplicity and straightforward gameplay of a dice game provided a focal point. Matching my breathing to the turns of the game helped me transition from physical exertion to a state of mental calm much faster than just sitting in silence, making my cooldown ritual far more effective.
