Days when I have to do a lot of mental work are the most exhausting for me. On those days, instead of showering, I take a bath with bath salts or a bath bomb, I light a scented candle, put a face mask on and watch a tv series or read a book. I lie in the bath for about half an hour and when I get out I feel refreshed and energised, so if I have any other tasks before ending the day I am not too exhausted and unmotivated. Not only it does wonders for relaxing my body, it’s also a way to take a break from every day life and take care of my mental health.
I often try to relax and listen to my body. If my body is tired then I should listen to it. If I’m just being lazy, I will try to do some reading or stretching
watch my favorite anime read my favorite book call my close people go for a walk take a hot shower sing many favorite songs (karaoke) dance a little bit go to bed early ;>
I go for a walk, talk to someone that loves me like a family member or a friend, cook something yummy and with veggies and maybe play piano
I try to keep off of social media, and do some reading, something enjoyful and not frustrating or stress inducing. I usually shower, and I like to go to bed early.
Stretching my muscles with a beautiful Song ti create a food atmosphere Is so relaxing for me, let all the stress of the day away.
I tend to be quite lazy, I’m more inclined to order takeaway or have a quick and poor food choice for dinner. I tend to not tidy up and just do as little as possible across the evening, engaging in more fun non-stressful activities that require little energy from me
I try to drink more water and eat a snack. Fruit is a good energy snack as well, if you don’t have much to do then sit back or lay down and relax I also like to meditate sometimes it clears you head relaxes your body and calms you down from stress and anger
I try to treat myself that evening and understand that I’m not perfect and can’t always do everythinf. Dont expect too much of yourself, some days you just don’t have time to exercise and cook a healthy dinner etc etc. Mondays are my hardest day so often I treat myself to a takeaway and have a nice bath Monday evenings. Then get straight back to healthy habits for the rest of the week!
I will take a hot shower then do some light exercises like yoga or meditation. A cup of warm milk with soft music also helps me relax 🎶
