Smile for relaxation/to relax yourself

What do you do for relaxation when you're not studying?
What do you do to relax yourself when you're not studying?


Does the above two sound right and refer to the same concept? Thanks.

Default Re: for relaxation/to relax yourself

The first sentence is fine.
The second one is fine if you omit "yourself" after "relax".

They convey the same meaning.
