There may be consilience around chillaxing and mindfulness

In science and history, consilience (also convergence of evidence or concordance of evidence) is the principle that evidence from independent, unrelated sources can "converge" on strong conclusions.

The verb chillax has been around since the mid-nineties. A blend of verbs chill and relax, its initial use was largely in the imperative as a way of telling someone to calm down and relax about something, e.g.: Chillax, nothing's going to go wrong… Though originally associated with teen speak and younger people, it was gradually picked upon by older language users, over time taking on the slightly different meaning of relaxing for pleasure. It could be argued that chillax is a little different to either relax or chill (out) in that it's a bit more dynamic and implies some level of (leisurely) activity.

The word chill dates right back to Old English, derived from words cele and ciele meaning 'cold, coldness'. Chill and chill out as verbs meaning 'relax' are by comparison relative newcomers, originating in US English in the late seventies and spawning chilled and chilling as a related adjective and activity noun. Another more recent addition to the word's pattern of use is the informal expression take a chill pill, now a humorous way of telling someone to calm down and not be stressed about something.

Mindfulness is the practice of purposely bringing one's attention to experiences occurring in the present moment without judgment, a skill one develops through meditation or other training.

Mindfulness derives from sati, a significant element of Buddhist traditions, and based on Zen, Vipassanā, and Tibetan meditation techniques. Though definitions and techniques of mindfulness are wide-ranging, Buddhist traditions explain what constitutes mindfulness such as how past, present and future moments arise and cease as momentary sense impressions and mental phenomena.

Individuals who have contributed to the popularity of mindfulness in the modern Western context include Thích Nhất Hạnh, Herbert Benson, Jon Kabat-Zinn, and Richard J. Davidson
