7 Ways to relax after work & make the most of your free time!
Do you ever have those days where you plan to be mega-productive when you get home from work but instead you spend the whole night watching Netflix and scrolling through blog posts? Welcome to my life, friends. It’s either that exact situation, or I’m 100% focused on my blog and forget to do all of the other things I planned to do.
Sometimes we get so tired from the workday that all we want to do when we get home is mind-numbing activities in an attempt to give ourselves a break, but that just becomes an endless cycle which leaves us feeling burnt out and unfulfilled.
7 Ways To Relax After Work
1. Go for a walk (and don’t bring your phone!)
You’ve probably been sitting in an office all day, so some fresh air and a little exercise are going to lift your mood dramatically. Leave your phone at home, and let yourself zone out away from Netflix and social media notifications.
2. Turn off email alerts.
It’s really important to set boundaries with your time because otherwise your work life will just blend into your personal life. If you’ve got a particularly stressful day coming up.
3. Schedule fun into your weekdays.
Most of us schedule fun outings and activities on the weekends, but there are five other days of the week that you could be having fun, too! Schedule in a few mini-adventures during the week and make them a priority.
4. Start a new hobby or revisit an old one.
It’s important to work towards something you can take pride in, but doesn’t consume all of your time. Think of what you loved to do as a kid (dancing, playing tennis, painting), and see if you can get back into it again, or try something completely new like photography, salsa dancing, or calligraphy!
5. Make dessert.
What better way to enjoy your evenings than with some delicious homemade brownies? Exactly, there is no better way. Making something with your own two hands is a great way to relieve stress and take your mind off your to-do list, and you get to enjoy your creation afterwards.
6. Take a (free) online course.
While it might seem stressful or boring to take a class during your free time, it’s a great way to learn about a new subject or further your learning in something you already enjoy.
7. Pamper yourself.
Schedule a pamper sesh into your calendar during the week and make sure you treat yo self!
Don’t be stuck in this cycle anymore, so start making a few changes to your after-work routine that make you feel more productive and pumped to get home from work. If you can relate to any of the above situations, give these tips a go and start making the most of your free time! you can start to enjoy the little things in life even when things get hectic.
