Read a book, blog or magazine

Immerse yourself into something light-hearted and easygoing to unwind and relax your mind.  With a book, delve into the description and surroundings written and become the protagonist and part of the story for an hour or so. With a blog or magazine, read and gain inspiration for your topic of choice. Simply reading a few chapters of a book, or a few blog posts you just haven’t been able to catch up on is a great way to unwind and relax after a lengthy and draining day at work.
