Corner Rock Gives Tips For Making Your Evening Awesome

May 29, 2014 - PRLog -- You have been at work all day and forever watching the clock. Hour after hour slowly passing by. It feels like the day will never end where you get to leave the office! After a long day at work, there is nothing more everyone looks forward to more than getting home and unwinding. The evening is a time to forget about everything due at work, the emails that need to be read and the to-do list that never seems to get completed and to just let go.

However, when being career driven, it can be difficult to shut your mind off work mode into relaxation mode. Here are a few things Corner Rock recommends to making your evening awesome.

Turn off your electronics. You are able to enjoy your relaxation time without being interrupted. Catching up with friends on Facebook; reading a blog or reading the latest celebrity gossip can ruin the opportunity to relax and shut off. Turn off those email alerts! Corner Rock knows that a career is important and also the importance of relaxing when you can. All work is not healthy and having the time to wind down is refreshing and allows individuals to have more focus and more drive.

Change out of your work clothes. Put on something comfortable that you wouldn’t wear in the office. Changing outfits distinguishes between home and work and will trigger your mind when to relax. At Corner Rock, image is extremely important. However, at the end of a hard day’s work, there is nothing more satisfying than getting home and getting changed out of the fitted suit into baggy, lazy clothes to chill in. It is good doing this as it helps keep work and home separate.

Take a walk or run. Leave all your worries or stress on the pavement. You do not need an intense work out session. Just simply move your body. Exercise releases good endorphins which helps with stress release and boosts your energy. Corner Rock highly encourages exercise because it is healthy and is an ideal way to relieve stress. After a good workout, everyone feels good so push yourself and see how better you feel afterwards!

Do something you enjoy. Whether it be crafting or watching your favourite programme or drinks with friends, make it a point to do that. You don’t want it to be 11:00PM where you then realise you have wasted the evening away and don’t even know how. Corner Rock knows how nice it is to get home in the evenings and to relax. It is good to be able to differentiate between work and down time. Nothing feels worse than an evening being wasted when you know you have things to do. Find that balance!

Prepare for tomorrow. Preparing everything the night before from ironing a shirt to packing a lunch can save a lot of time and stress in the morning. Mornings are always rushed without added stress making it feel like the day is going to be terrible. Corner Rock cannot stress how important it is to plan in advance and be organised. This can make such a difference to your day or week. It can prevent unnecessary stress and the potential of the stress ruining your day. Don’t let your day be ruined by rushing in the morning trying to find that favourite shirt or bag. Find it the evening before!

Make a bedtime routine. Find something that allows you to wind down from your day and do it every night before you go to bed. Read a book, have a cup of tea or a bath. It does not matter what it is as long as it is soothing. Corner Rock knows that everyone needs a good night’s sleep and having it disrupted by today’s technology can affect a bedtime routine. Technology does not always help a person wind down and relax. Drag yourself away from your emails and games and relax! This will make a huge difference to your productivity at work!

Corner Rock wants everyone to not only work hard, but play hard. Enjoy your time away from work, whether it is having fun or taking time out. Get that balance between work and your personal time!
