How can you relax after a Long Day?

1. Hang Back without doing Anything

One of the best ways to recover after work is just to lie down. This helps you feel relaxed and gives both your mind and your body a much needed rest from your day. Lie down on your bed or couch. Close your eyes and do nothing. You don't need to do this for very long time. A few minutes can help you feel more relaxed. 10 to 15 minute should do that.

2. Switch to Comfortable Clothes

No Belts, Ties, Heels or Collars allowed. Don't stay in your work attire when you got home. If you're feeling tired or drained, swap to some fresh and comfy clothes. It might not be fashionable, but comfort should be the aim here and you should be ready to do a very little thing which makes you feel better.

3. Take a Warm Shower

The best way to leave work behind you is to wash away the tension from your body. Water has a claiming effect on the mind and soul. Try a nice hot shower to help your muscles relax followed by a cool splash of cold water to energize the cells in your body. It is a great feeling rinsing off all the dirt. The great thing about baths is that they don't tend to have the same invigorating effects as exercise or massage, which means you can take one close to bed time.

4. Don't Hesitate to Meditate

Take some time to disconnect from everything and try focusing on your breathing. This will help to eliminate all the tangle from your mind. No need of doing this for a long time. A 5 minutes of meditation does lots of good.

5. Chill with Music

Seek some peace and quiet with some soothing tunes. The music you listen to influence your mood substantially. To promote calm, avoid fast and loud genres of music as it may only aggravate you and give you a headache. Slower music that you can close your eyes and breathe along with, will help to reduce your heart rate. 

6. Take a break & get out of the House

A change of scenery after being cooped up indoors all day will help you relax. In fine weather, try seeking out nature. Breathing in some fresh air and looking around the greenery can let your mind wander away from the work. 

7. Unwind with some Workout

Going to the gym and getting sweat is always a great way to relax. Blood flow and Oxygen to the brain, gives your body and mind a good boost. Workout always wakes you up and calms you down. It's also a great way to reduce stress at work, if you make it part of schedule.

8. Read a Book

Sometimes the best way to escape the chaos of the day-to-day is to slip into another one. Research suggest that the part of our brain that feels empathy gets a great workout when we read fiction. So, try reading about a powerful character or a positive situation. If you are not an avid reader, you can opt for an episode or two of TV series you like. 

9. Do something which you enjoy the most

After your long day at the office, working hard and getting things done, you should take some time to do something that you enjoy and that isn't too draining, and you'll probably find your mood increases.

10. Tight Sleep

There's no better way to restore energy than getting a good night's sleep. This can be challenging for many of us. To set yourself up for success, prepare early.
