We all work hard, and there are plenty of times when we have lots of spare time that we don’t use effectively. When we have a demanding job it can be difficult to make sure that we get enough time for ourselves. Those of us who are self-employed have even less time to ourselves because we end up with more work than we could’ve ever imagined if we are lucky.

So taking some time out, maybe difficult at best, but what’s worse is that we don’t always use our downtime effectively. When we do this we will ultimately end up with a nice relaxed and refreshed mind! So here are some suggestions on how you can use your relaxation time wisely, and what you can do to help yourself reduce stress levels and be the best version of yourself.

 

1. Explore opportunities.

Before deciding what you need to do during your relaxation time, you need to work out what it is that helps you relax, and things that you enjoy the most. Without knowing this you may waste a lot of time doing things that you feel should be relaxing, but aren’t for you.

What is relaxing for one person isn’t for another. A long walk in the woods could be relaxing for one person but it may be not very much fun for another. You could even look into consider having a free psychic reading, and other forms of entertainment and spirituality offer, But what is ever is that you enjoy doing, that is generally a good starting point.

Most of us enjoy sitting down with a good book, magazine, or even a coloring book, but if this doesn’t work for you, then it is a waste of time. So explore the opportunities available and come up with a plan of what works for you.

 

2. Bathe.

This may sound very simple, but just having a warm relaxing bath can be just the ticket for many people when it comes to relaxation. Creating an environment that is relaxing, and cleansing for both your mind and body can be transformative for your mood.

If you are stuck for ideas and this could be one to start with, and putting on some relaxation music, maybe adding a glass of wine to the concoction, and really allowing yourself to unwind, means that you could end up a completely different person by the end of it.

We don’t always realize just how tense we are until we get into a warm relaxing bath.

 

3. Netflix and Chill. 

We can spend hours watching box sets on Netflix, and there’s actually nothing wrong with that as long as it is intentional, and the time that you spend is for your relaxation time. Being intentional with your activities during your relaxation time will help you feel less guilty about taking time off and doing what you enjoy most. So set up a list, and work out exactly what you would like to watch next, grab the snacks and enjoy your downtime.
