How do you unwind from work?

[C1239]

After a busy day at work how do you unwind?! Things are super busy at work at the moment and I’m finding it hard not to get stressed!

Can you do something like have a walk immediately after finishing work? Just to put some space in between work and home.

Things I find helpful are a bath, doing some exercise, writing it all out in a journal or just doing something to take my mind off it like reading or gaming.

How long are your hours? In the days when I was working 12-16 hours a day, it was impossible to wind down, I'd watch shit TV for a couple of hours to kill my brain, get some shit sleep and just function in a sleep deprived state until the weekend. I changed jobs.

Walk the dogs. Or go for a run. Basically get out of my mind and into my body.

I like to walk, either outside, on the treadmill or up and down the landing. Then TV in bed / browsing the web

Just Dance on the Nintendo Switch. I put on my one hour playlist and switch off my phone and go all guns blazing. It’s a fantastic workout and I don’t think about anything else (especially shitty work) while I’m doing it.

4 PM wine time?

bath and a book with my phone off.

I get home from work about 8pm .Two options for me wine or bed 50/50 !

Gym or swim alternate evenings, glass of wine/gin and mindless TV alternate evenings. I work 8:30 - 6 on my gym days and 8:30 - 6 on my non gym days plus back to my desk after dinner 7 - 8:30 on my non gym days. I need a drink and the Repair Shop after my second session.
