Anyone’s working day can be tough and it can be difficult to wind down when you get home. However, if you want to continue to be the best you can be, you need to make your health and well-being a priority; take time to relax and de-stress. Here are a couple of ideas of simple ways you can kick back and chill:
- Change into comfortable clothes: There’s nothing better than getting home from work and changing into a comfortable t-shirt and your favorite pair of sweatpants. Changing out of your work clothes tells your brain that it’s time to relax.
- Unplug: Put the phone down; the laptop and the tab too! You’ve been on your gadgets all day. Do your sanity a favour and switch these off. You need a break.
- Read a book: Reading a good book will take you away from the chaos around you into a whole new world. Reading has plenty of benefits and relaxing you is just one of them. So, settle yourself down in a quiet spot and indulge!
- Drink a cuppa: Herbal teas contain ingredients that reduce the levels of stress hormones in the body and calm the mind including chamomile, lemon, basil and green tea.
