Everyone needs to decompress, relax and just breathe sometimes.  Even if you just take 15 minutes in your day, to do just that, you will feel so much better, any you will be more productive when you return t o work.   It is not easy to tell someone else how to relax and have fun.  For me, listening to music is a great start toward unwinding.  On the way home from work, I turn on the classical music station, or sometimes I listen to cool jazz.   When I get home, a warm bath helps me to unwind, and after dinner, a quiet walk in the park, with my husband, or my friends, is just the kind of recreation that helps to promote a good night’s sleep.  Learning to meditate, helps many people decompress from the stresses of the real world.   Some of us choose Yoga and other forms of meditation as a recreation that is fun, but also  it teaches people to take cleansing breaths and then to let go of their tensions and frustrations.   If you don’t mind a suggestion, I would say that you should try these different types of relaxation methods, and see what works for you as a restful form of recreation.  Some people read books on subjects that they are interested in, and others go to see a play, or watch the History Channel to learn something new.  Our methods of recreation are as varied as our taste in food and wine.  See what works for you, and do it as soon as possible.
