Pump your brakes, unwind and relax! Before going back to work some of us need to recharge and reflect on some things we would want to work on.

There are many effective ways on how you can relax before going back to work. According to work it daily you can start with preparing yourself mentally.

  • You have to surround yourself with good thoughts. Do things that will contribute good thoughts to your thinking process for example, watch good tv serieses instead of those that might add negativity to your thoughts. 
  • Be cautious of how you are feeling. Try practicing yoga for relaxation and to improve awareness within yourself and around you. 
  • Don’t allow yourself to be victimized by your thoughts, pull yourself out of that process before it weighs you down.
  • Allow yourself to be happy, If you’re content about your happiness not even a colleague can get you out of that mindset. There will be times people will try to bring you down, remember you’re the story you tell yourself.

We all have different ways of relaxing. According to African reporter, “getting in that mode can be challenging for some people, especially if they are not used to allowing themselves some “me” time.” 

Here are some things you can do to help you recharge and relax.

  1. Take long walks in the mornings and evenings.
  2. If you’re an avid reader, read a novel or watch your favorite series.
  3. Meditate or listen to music that makes you happy.
  4. Share your thoughts in your journal.
  5. Take long baths and add calming salts.
  6. Start gardening.

A new year offers you a clean slate for a good start to make amends and build new work friends, start your journey feeling like a new revived person.
