I like keeping a list of relaxation ideas because whenever the urge to relax hits, I always forget what to do.

• Go for a walk outside with an audiobook or music.
• Swim. Do my Total Immersion drills.
• Have a shower.
• Tidy the house.
• Garden. Sweep up leaves.
• Do a cryptic crossword (CRUX).
• Meditate (headspace).
• Get a coffee and drink it in the park or at the beach.
• Visit a new suburb or somewhere I haven’t been for a while.
• Visit IKEA.
• Browse a bookstore.
• Browse Imgur
• Read a book
• Browse goodreads. Add some books to my To Read list.
• Write a list of ‘things to worry about’ versus ‘things that I’d like to do but don’t have to do’.
• Call my mum.
• Organise lunch with a friend.
• Go out for lunch by myself.
• Browse cat or dog videos.

• Write relaxation lists.
