Australian native takes relaxation to the next level

You’ve all been there… It’s the end of a busy week and all you can think about doing is kicking back and relaxing your weekend away. Yet, if you’ve struggled to get just the right amount of downtime, this video of a blissed out koala could be just the thing you needed.

Making its way around the internet at the moment, the unidentified resident of Symbio Wildlife Park in New South Wales, Australia is the perfect example of just how easy it is to chill out.

You’d think koalas would have a pretty easy time of it anyway, what with all that hanging around in trees eating leaves business. However, what this video highlights in the power of a little massage. Just look at how sleepy this guy gets as its adorable fuzzy chin is rubbed. Oh. Yeah!

If the koala can’t teach you a thing or two about achieving your goals of pure relaxation, it’s hoped at least the vision of it reaching a new state of calm will have you grinning from ear to ear.
