    How I Like to Destress After a Hard Day

    Get Active with an Exercise Routine

    Most people want to collapse on the couch after a hard day. Sometimes, I do, too, but more often than not, I prefer to sweat out my stress at the gym. I also love alternative exercises like yoga and Pilates. I need to stay active, or I just won’t feel good!

    Being a secretary calls for some much-needed physical activity. Staying on top of my health helps me keep a daily balance. In general, too, exercise does wonders for the body, and has even been proven to reduce the speed of aging. All the more motivation to stick to the gym even after an unforgiving day!

    Keep a Journal of My Private Thoughts

    Sometimes, I have a lot of thoughts at the end of the day, and they don’t go away even with exercise. I talked to a therapist friend about this, and she recommended that I use a venting tool. So, I went out and bought a journal of my very own. It has been a lifesaver—it’s like a diary, but without all the secrets!

    I like to write about what happened during the day, how I responded, and the many joys and frustrations I felt. Sometimes, I crumple up the journal’s pages and throw them away, which can be therapeutic, too. It’s symbolic of casting my cares into the past!

    Journaling has helped me process so many emotions. I’m so happy to have started doing it!

    Connect with My Friends and Relax

    Most people would rather not be social at the end of the day, but I love to connect with my friends. They always brighten my mood, especially after a tough eight hours!

    Sometimes, on days off, we go on picnics to enjoy the outdoors and get away from home. We also love to go to sporting events and lounge on the beach. We love everything about being together and feed off of each other’s energy!

    Enjoy Different Types of Facial Rejuvenation

    After doing a lot of online research, I’ve made facial rejuvenation a staple of my daily routine. It has helped me destress and made me feel so much better about my appearance! As soon as I wake up, I apply lotions, cleansers, and firming creams, and before bed, I treat myself to a calming facemask. It helps my skin look smooth and luminous beyond belief!

    The best part about facial rejuvenation is that it’s different for everyone. While I use creams and lotions, others opt for Botox and fillers, or even a facelift. A solid facial rejuvenation regimen is the best way to keep your skin youthful and refreshed!

    Take a Long Nap or Meditate

    Sometimes, if I’m feeling too tired to exercise, I collapse on my bed for a quick nap. Power naps give me just the right amount of energy for a better evening!

    Other times, I find more comfort in meditating with a guided recording. I even listen while I’m trying to nap—it lulls me into a trance! Meditation is one of my favorite tools to destress, and I recommend that you try it out if you haven’t already. Even fifteen minutes can make you feel as good as new!

    Take My Dog for a Walk

    I’m not always able to spend quality time with my dog, but I do my best to set aside a few hours with him each week. Some days, I take him on walks at the dog park to enjoy the air. If the weather is bad, we stay indoors and play with his favorite toys.

    It’s so fun to spend time with my dog. He is adorable, carefree, and never fails to put a smile on my face. He can even sense when I’ve had a tough day and will lie down with me and let me rub his tummy!
