1. Leave work in the office
Try not to bring work home after work (even if forced, work from home no more than two nights a week).
2. Prepare for work in advance
Make a list two hours before leaving work to determine which tasks you must complete today and which tasks can be left for tomorrow. This way, you have ample time to complete tasks and reduce worries in your spare time.
3. Enjoyment on the way to work
If you are driving to work, you can play your favorite CD or audiobook; If you are taking the bus or subway, you can read a novel... In short, spending a few minutes doing things you enjoy on the way to work can help alleviate the tension at work.
4. Place a miscellaneous box at the entrance of the residence
Purchase or make a large basket or wooden box and place it at the entrance of your residence. After entering the house, immediately put your briefcase or tool bag inside and never touch it before leaving the next day.
5. Sit still
Before going to dinner, exercising at the gym, or picking up a child, take 3-5 minutes to close your eyes and take deep breaths. Imagine inhaling fresh air into the abdomen and completely exhaling the exhaust gas. This way, you can clear your mind and relieve the pressure of work.
6. With music
Play some favorite music while preparing dinner, paying bills, or doing laundry. Joyful and pleasant music can add a lot of fun to your household chores.
7. Write down the difficulties
If you encounter great difficulties at work and still cannot relax after returning home, please pick up your pen and paper. Write down any difficulties or unhappiness you encounter in one breath, then tear off the piece of paper and throw it away.
8. Establishing a certain 'ritual'
Create a certain 'ritual' for oneself, using it as a boundary to separate daily work and family life. This kind of 'ceremony' can be discussing school matters with children at the dining table, or drinking a large glass of lemon juice
10. Keep the house tidy and tidy
A disorganized home can give you a feeling of losing control, amplifying the stress of the day. Spend 5 minutes tidying up your residence before going to bed, and the next day you can return to a neat and elegant home.
11. Reasonably arrange household chores
If you want to finish all the household chores overnight, you will naturally feel nervous and anxious. On the contrary, if some household chores can be reasonably arranged or left for the weekend, it can become a way to relax after work.
