      In addition, taking the time to exercise or relax on the couch can help you clear your mind. Consider reading an exciting book or practicing relaxation methods like yoga.

      Do What You Enjoy

      The best way to unwind and eliminate Tension and stress is by doing what you love. There are likely several obligations required for the week - some of which may only sometimes be enjoyable. From bills, chores, or meetings, life can seem like it will never end, with them piling up on top of each other all day long until we finally get time off work at 5 p.m.!

      That's why it's essential to fill your downtime as much as possible during those hectic days: remember people who bring joy into our lives through interaction and laughter. Spend your days off or free afternoons with friends and loved ones, engaging in your favorite hobbies or trying new foods.
