How to calm down after a long day?

Finding a way to unwind and relax after a long/ stressful day at work can be difficult for some people. Being in control of your mind and body after work is important to upkeep a healthy work-life balance. 

Here are some tips to help you relax after work:

1. Become a couch potato for a period of time. Allow yourself to relax on the couch or the bed and just zone out. 

2. Get active. Some people thrive on physical activity and if you're this person allow yourself a time to work out. A walk around the block or a trip to the gym to get your mind off your external and focus on your internal. 

3. Meditation. Find yourself a quiet place away from distractions and allow yourself to breathe. Focus on your presence and reconnect with your mind and body. 

4. Writing it down. Grab yourself a notebook or a page and write down all your thoughts and feelings. Get all the thoughts out of your mind and onto paper. This can help with a mental detox and also put into context how you really feel seeing it written down. 

5. Friday night drinks.
