In order to relax and have fun, you have to be free of worries. Of course you can’t just escape responsibilities altogether, but in order to stay sane everyone has to cut loose now and then.
When you cut loose you forget about your job and anything you have to do for a little while. People often like to cut loose with their friends after work, or by exercising.
The opposite of cutting loose is being tied down. If you’re tied down, you have things you have to do and pay attention to, so you can’t relax. When Jason finds Mason at his desk, he looks pretty tied down. He actually has rope holding him to the desk!
So Jason cuts the rope and they immediately open beers and start playing with a football. It feels good to cut loose! How do you like to cut loose?
