Best Apps to Spend a Relaxing Evening After a Stressful Day
It is hard to switch gears into relaxation mode after a long day at work. Apps can help you forget your stressful day and get much-needed rest at home.
If you’re not sure how to calm down after a busy day, there are a lot of ways that you can relax both your muscles and your mind and take full advantage of your downtime. Everyone needs a break from work to unwind and destress and it has a huge effect on your ability to stay healthy in your daily life. Getting your body to physically relax is a good way to start, such as stretching out your muscles that have been tensed up at your desk all day with some yoga practice. Or you might even try getting comfy with a nice, warm bath. Whatever you need to get some physical stress relief after a long day will immediately help to signal your mind to slow down as well.
If you find that you just can’t unwind when you get home, it’s most likely because you are not feeling relaxed mentally. In order to let go of work stress for the day, you need to be able to completely clear your mind of your upcoming work tasks. Whether it’s through mindfulness and meditation or taking up a hobby to distract yourself, you need to do whatever you can to silence the running thoughts in your head and forget work for the evening. Make a pact to yourself to never bring work issues through your front door, and certainly don’t bring work home with you if you can avoid it! Letting go of all that is also the only way you’ll be able to unwind before bed and get some good sleep so that you can tackle your next work day feeling absolutely refreshed and energized.
Sometimes the best way to relax after work is just by doing something completely unconventional, mindless, or just something that you simply like to do. Activities like streaming your new favorite show or scrolling through Reddit pages for hilarious memes can help you to have a fully relaxing evening. Even getting outside and going for a walk or meeting up with a friend can help you to wind down and feel less like your stressful workday is taking over your life. You’ll find that there’s a lot to be enjoyed, and there’s no reason to let a particularly hard day get you down.

When I’ve had a particularly long day, I tend to want to watch something comedic and light-hearted. The Hulu app has a good selection of shows that never fail to make me laugh like Brooklyn 99 and Saturday Night Live.
