You’ve just returned home after a chaotic day. There were several moments throughout the afternoon when you wondered whether the day was ever going to end. But it finally has and now you’re ready to unwind. It’s time to get out of the “go, go, go” mindset and into a more comfortable frame of mind. What will you do to relax? Will you grab the latest thriller you ordered online? Will you try that kava kava tonic your friends have been raving about? If you’re ready to wind down after a busy, here are four ways that can’t be beat.
Read—The Old-Fashioned Way
When you think of reading, you might think of reading on your phone, tablet, or computer. When you want to unwind after a hectic day, one of the best things you can do is pick up an old-fashioned paperback or magazine. We’ll give you a pass on the e-reader as long as it doesn’t use a blue light display. While many of us actively try to read before bed, we tend to read on our devices. But when our eyes (and our brains) are exposed to the blue light of these devices, it makes it harder to wind down. The light from your devices has a stimulating effect, which is the exact opposite of what you want if you’re powering down. So, power down your devices too, and embrace those paper pages.
Walk—Just for Yourself
Put on your headphones and fire up your favorite podcast, throw on the sound of a tropical rainstorm, or leave the tunes at home and just walk. It’s all about walking without a specific purpose—like walking to work or walking around the grocery store as you shop. Walking for you and only you can be a great way to relax. It could be as simple as a walk around your neighborhood or a nearby park. It doesn’t matter. It’s all about moving and putting yourself in a different headspace. All it takes is 20 or 30 minutes, and you’ll return home feeling at ease.
Meditate—Find Your Inner Rhythm
Meditation doesn’t come easy to everyone. If you’ve never listened to a guided meditation or practiced it on your own, it can be challenging to find your rhythm. That said, there are several great apps to help you on your meditation journey. Guided sessions on these apps can help you re-center after a long day at work. As you focus on your breathing and clear your mind, you can rediscover your inner rhythm and let the relaxation begin.
Kava—A Tonic to Calm
If you’re looking for a natural way to wind down, a kava kava drink may be the answer. Kava is a plant native to the South Pacific and is naturally filled with calming qualities. It’s an all-natural kava beverage to help you unwind and put the day behind you. Within 20 minutes of the first sip, you’ll begin to feel it work. The chaos of the day can melt away, and you can feel a sense of bliss. Feel confident that you’re unwinding in the best way for you.
