Take Time to Relax says Tej Kohli (go back »)

Tej Kohli believes that after a long day at work, rest is something that you should not compromise on.

Although stress is something that most of us suffer from to an extent (whether in the form of a chronic illness or only an occasional happening), it is not the monster we make it out to be, and can in fact be harnessed with only a small bit of extra effort.

In today’s modern, fast-paced society, it is imperative that we learn to find a just balance between working hard and taking the time to relax and enjoy ourselves. Each one of us has a need to rest and recuperate after a hard day, week, or month of work.

Relaxing need not be an extravagant affair. Watching a movie or listening to music at the end of a long day can work wonders for healing the effects of a stressful day. This coupled together with a nice meal and a refreshing fruit juice, should make you feel almost as good as new.

Many executives I know say that listening to their favorite music both to and from work is an excellent way to sneak some relaxation into an otherwise busy schedule. You can also try listening to music during your lunch break to ease the stress and strain of the day.

If you want your time of relaxing to be extra special you can always plan out a ‘family day’ with your near and dear ones. It need not only be your personal family, it can be that of your friends, colleagues or relatives as well. Take your family to the cinema, the zoo or wherever will be the most relaxing for you.

You can also throw a party exclusively for your near and dear ones. Organize it, and surprise those on your team by gifting them invitation cards to attend.

No matter what, take time to relax. You are worth it!
