"Lying Flat" is a lifestyle and social protest that began in China which rejects societal pressure to overwork and compete with others despite diminishing financial returns and emotional wellbeing. Those who "lie flat" adopt a relatively low-desire, carefree attitude towards life and prioritise their mental health over professional goals.

Self-help influencers are people with prominent social media platforms who regularly post content about activities they do and products they use to stay mentally, physically, and emotionally healthy.
