4 practical tips to unwind after a day of work

Many people have difficulty enjoying their free time during the week, after work hours. Is this your case?  

Two specialists, a psychologist and a therapist, shared advice quoted by Notícias ao Minuto, to help you know how to relax after a day of work.

These are 4 simple ways to relax after a long day at work:  

• Change clothes as soon as you get home: Joy Kiesch, therapist and clinical director of Miami Vibes, explains that changing out of work clothes into something comfortable signals to the body that it's time to relax;

• Listen to your favorite songs: According to Kiesch, listening to music helps "tell" the mind that it has already left work mode.

• Physical exercise practice: Psychologist Meredith Van Ness advocates that "intentional movement facilitates the transition from work to personal time";  

• Realize household chores as soon as you arrive: Leaving them for later "can create anxiety, preventing you from enjoying your rest time", warns Van Ness.
