Relaxation
Try to build time into your daily routine to pause and engage in a relaxing or restorative activity. This might be making sure you have time for a regular drink or a bath, it might be winding wool or even taking part in a relaxation exercise. You don’t need to block off large amounts of time. Even a five minute break to pause is important.
