How to relax?

I've have a tiring week, headache last few days and decided to have a day at home today. I wanted to read and catch up on my shows, but my brain is going 50 to the dozen. I feel guilty for not 'doing' something fun. I feel guilty we aren't going somewhere and doing something fun. I'm trying to watch my programme and all I can think is I need to clean the floor and plan the shopping - not urgent at all, so why can't I ignore them? Surely having a pj day is OK sometimes? Just me and DH. I feel like the only lazy person in the world 😐

Have a pj day and do absolutely nothing! I feel guilty for having days like that but I like to think of it as giving my body the opportunity to relax and recharge so it can be at its best the following days, helps me feel better about it and not beat myself up for not doing anything

I would have an hour doing stuff that needs doing , you will probably find it easier to relax then

I completely understand how you feel. Sometimes it's hard to allow yourself to take a break and just relax. But it is important to remember that self-care is essential to our physical and mental well-being. Perhaps pampering yourself with a relaxing day at a spa such as this one can be a great way to recharge and de-stress.

Reading a book is essential to keeping your mental focus for longer tasks it's not skiving off.
