After a hard day’s work, it’s important – and shall I say vital – to unwind and recharge your batteries as much as possible. Granted, it’s very likely that you have to head back to the office (or whatever your workspace is) the very next day.
Here are some ways to prevent exhaustion and de-stress after a long day at work:
- Pajamas
Well, maybe not necessarily your full pajama attire. But if you want to tell your brain that “work hours are over”, you better change out of your work clothes and slip into something more comfortable. A clean t-shirt and a pair of comfy pants should do the trick!
- Say bye-bye to electronics
For at least an hour or two, unplugging from your laptop or mobile device, should help you get back to your “normal self”. Leave your phone in another room while you’re cooking dinner or doing something that relaxes you. Let’s face it; you’ve probably checked your social media feeds all day long. Time to let go!
- Meditation, yoga, reading a book
Ok, so now you’re in your jammies (or comfy clothes) and you’re away from your phone. How about sitting on the floor for five minutes and doing absolutely nothing? Focus on your breathing and make it a habit to take just a few minutes and not think about anything in particular. You can also try yoga; just a few stretches here and there can really make a difference in your well-being. And don’t forget about that book you’ve wanted to read for so long. Curl up on the couch and read on!
