Clean It

If the bath hasn’t been used for a long time, you need to give it a deep clean first! This requires a good cleaning product (or a mixture of baking soda and dish soap) and some old-school rubbing. It’s daunting but totally worth it.

Set the Mood

Lights off, candles ready, no phone, soothing music—these are some of the essential ingredients for a perfect bath. You need to be able to relax your body and your mind in the same way.

Bath Bombs

There are so many nice things you can add to your bath in the drugstore! Pick up some bath bombs, essential oils, flower petals, or anything else that catches your eye. Enjoy a colorful, nice-smelling bath once and you’ll quickly want to do it again.

If you want to take it to the next levels, you’re going to need a few products. Perhaps you already have them at home; if you don’t, you can probably order online, depending on where you leave. There are many options available and it’s all about what smells you like and what effect you want to achieve.

After you’ve chosen the bath bombs, salts, and oils you’ll use, fill up the tub and prepare your favorite robe. You can use a bath tray if you want to have your favorite drink or book by your side. Relax in the bath for around 20 minutes, then rinse your body with lukewarm or cold water.

Establish a Routine

Incorporating meditation into your daily routine is the best way to ensure you will stick to it. Try taking five to ten minutes to meditate every morning after you brush your teeth.

Find Your Space

If you find a comfortable space for your meditation, your mind will follow. Make sure to find a place you feel safe and free from additional noises or clutter.

Try Not to Attach

Your mind will likely wander during meditation and that is completely normal. Try acknowledging your thoughts and allowing them to pass by instead of becoming attached to them.

Position Matters

Even though the stereotypical meditation position is a cross-legged seat, it isn’t always comfortable for everyone. Try to find a mediation position that feels suited to you and your body.

Skincare

Carefully cleanse your face and neck, before moving on to massaging the area. Apply your favorite serum and moisturizing cream. Take a moment to enjoy the amazing feeling on your skin after you’ve done all this.

Face Mask

If you have some extra time, you can enjoy the benefits of a sheet mask. Once you apply it, you can relax for around 20 minutes and do absolutely nothing, enjoying the process.

Lip Scrub

Even though it only takes a few minutes, most of us tend to neglect taking care of lips. There are many lip scrubs in beauty stores but you can also make your own using sea salt and olive oil.

Take a Bath

There’s nothing as relaxing as making yourself a glorious bath and isolating from the world as you enjoy it. Don’t forget to take a glass of wine with you!

Jigsaw Puzzles

Sit back and relax while you’re putting the picture together piece by piece. The more complicated, the better! Don’t give yourself deadlines but commit to enjoying the process.

Coloring Books

Coloring books for adults come in many different options and they offer hours of fun and a chance to spend some time away from screens, in silence or while listening to your favorite music.

Making Lists

There are many people who find making lists fun, and you can try it, too! There’s no limit to what kind of lists you can make; just grab a notebook and pen and start writing. You can write down your shopping wishlist, your favorite songs, things you need to do by the end of the week, and so much more.

Taking some time to rest is important for your physical and mental health, and don’t be surprised if you return to work more productive and with a fresh perspective after taking a short break.

Here are four ways to find time to rest in this world that’s all about staying busy.

Schedule It

If you’re totally dependent on your planner or calendar, perhaps it’s a good idea to put some “me” time on it, too. Make it a priority and put it on your calendar before you fill it in with all the other things you need to take care of.

Stay Away From Your Phone

Or at least mute all the sounds and notifications. With your phone constantly buzzing, it’s not surprising you’re stressed all the time. Not having it interrupt you all day long is a great way to rest and relax.

Delegate Duties

Don’t be afraid to ask for help and to delegate some of the things that need to be done. You’ll be surprised how many times people around you will be glad to help and you’ll feel a lot lighter without all that load to carry around.

Learn to Say No

‘No’ is a powerful word that we could all use a lot more. Give yourself permission to say no to things you don’t want to do and people you don’t want to spend time with and utilize that time towards resting and loving yourself.

Here’s what experts suggest we should do while healing from burnout.

Turn Off Notifications

Make sure you’ve completed all your work before going on a holiday and once you are done, turn off all notifications on your phone and laptop and stop checking your email. You need to switch off, otherwise, you won’t be able to relax.

Use Your Vacation Days

Going on a vacation won’t do you any good if you keep on working or you’re constantly thinking about work. Make every day count and do things you normally don’t have time for, spoil yourself and use this time the best way you can.

Get Back to Nature

One of the best ways to reduce stress levels, boost your energy and positivity is to go outside. Nature can do wonders for our mental health so go out there, wander, explore new places, and reconnect with nature.
