How do I relax after a demanding day?
How do I relax after a demanding day? Often, I just surf social media. My favorite is Quora — I like learning about new and esoteric things, so Quora fits my needs. It can be relaxing or challenging depending on the content. If it’s too demanding, I skip the commentary on questions. Especially the ones about American politics, because those often devolve into tu quoque (“Your mom”) arguments.
Sometimes I read comfort novels. Comfort novels are those I revisit now and again for a familiar read. I am currently rereading some JD Robb novels. Despite the murders, these are prime comfort novels to me, and a fast read.
Sometimes I just lie down and vegetate. Sometimes it just feels good to close my eyes and lay there. No demands, no brain drain. If I fall asleep, I guess I needed it.
Streaming videos is something I seldom, if ever, do. I just don’t have the attention span for watching something. For some reason, it takes a lot of brain energy for me to watch programs. It’s easier with subtitles, which makes me think it’s a hearing thing.
Today is going to be a challenging day, so I will have at least one of these strategies to get me relaxed in the evening.
