We women are always on our toes. Wait, let me rephrase that. We are always on our heels, running around finishing our chores, meeting work deadlines and living life in general. But, at the end of a hectic, mentally engaging and physical draining day all we need is that little bit of ‘me’ time that will keep us going. While you may find it hard to believe, we have finally found a few near-perfect solutions to help rejuvenate your body after a long and hectic day. Read on to know what your body is actually craving for!
1. A hot bubble bath.
After a long hectic day, all that your body craves for is some stress relief. So once home, prepare yourself that hot bath and relax your stressed muscles while you enjoy some quiet time.
2. Do something you love.
Sometimes we get so busy with work and our monotonous lives that we actually forget to enjoy it. So make your life fun by adding that one activity at the end of your day that really makes you happy. It might be something as simple as watching a movie, reading a book or dancing to your favorite tunes.
3. Have an Iron fortified meal
Small activities such as walking and driving also require energy. Many-a-times, unknowingly all your energy is spent in these mundane acts, leaving you low on energy. So energize your body on a daily basis with an iron fortified meal. While food items like spinach, soybeans and lentils provide ample of iron to your body, Tata Salt Plus gives you 50% of your daily iron requirement.*
4. Connect with friends.
Sometimes the best way to unwind and relax the tense muscles is a good laugh with some close pals. So whenever you feel too overwhelmed with this all consuming thing called life, pick up the phone and connect with your friends to bring back those beautiful memories and get all the major dope about their lives.
5. Say hello to yoga.
Yes, yoga is slow. It requires concentration and can be boring. But, it is the best way to relax your body. And thanks to variations like Power Yoga, there is literally something for everyone.
6. Take a nap.
The best and the easiest way to feel rejuvenated is a nap. After a long hectic day, empty your mind of any thoughts and just take a nap. Trust me you will definitely wake up feeling much better.
7. Walk barefoot on grass.
No, it really works! Get in touch with nature. Walking barefoot on grass connects you to the earth and neutralizes your energy. It calms your mind. Do try it.
8. Unplug yourself from work/social media.
Make it a rule to never stress about work once you home. Also, make sure to unplug yourself from social media. Staring continuously into the phone or laptop has never done anyone any good. Relax your mind, disconnect from the world and find yourself.
9. Spend a relaxed hour with your loved one.
This is the best therapy ever. Go out for a date night with your partner or have a stay in dinner night with your family. Bring out the board games and indulge in some good old fun.
10. Go Cycling
Sometimes all it takes to feel rejuvenated is fresh air. So go out and enjoy some peaceful ‘me’ time with a fun activity like cycling. It not just works on all your muscles but also gives you the much required quiet time.
