Relaxing the body means letting go of tension in the muscles. Relaxing the mind means letting go of fear, anxiety, the need to react to every stimulus, the need to be "doing."
When the mind has space, not ruminating over some anxiety, or bombarded with stimuli and demands, then there's room for creativity, room to dream of future possibilities, room for choice.
Meditating helps me find mental space. Taking time - a few hours or a day - to follow whatever comes up wherever it leads - is another space maker.
The time to make and explore mental space is not wasted time - far from it - it is the least wasted time of all.
