It’s something that we’re all guilty of. Not feeling like we can switch off in life is incredibly detrimental. If you finished work a few hours ago, but you’re still checking your emails or you are refreshing your news feed, the fact is that you are still feeling “on,” which is why you’ve got to learn how to switch off effectively. Try some of the following:
Have Something To Look Forward To
Creating something at the end of your working day that will relax or fulfill you is going to give you a better sense of anticipation for when you finally clock off. Whether it’s something as simple as buying that Delta 10 for sale online or going for a little run around the block to take tension away, when we create something that we can look forward to as a simple reward system, we don’t then fall into unhealthy habits, such as checking social media.
Accepting Your Limits
There are never enough hours in the day to achieve everything, and if you find yourself checking emails because you want to get a head start on tomorrow, you will have to accept the fact that you need to stop at some point. When it comes to working, you need to do your best every day, but it’s very unlikely that your clients are going to be staying up in the middle of the night and sending emails, so why should you?
Think About Your Health
It’s important not to become obsessed with our health. There are so many biohackers and health-related podcasts out there, but we’ve got to make sure that if we are prioritizing our health so we can have enough peace of mind to switch off. One of the best ways to distract ourselves is to make a healthy meal. When there’s so much for you to think about the terms of work, you can focus your efforts on creating an amazing meal, which is a distraction tactic, all in itself but also yields a very healthy outcome. There are plenty of options for you to try.
Have a Bedtime Routine
Everybody can benefit from a bedtime routine, and rather than putting the TV on, think about the things that do relax you like when you go to a spa. You can incorporate a lot of these things into your bedtime routine, whether it’s a hot bath or listening to some chill-out music. Ideally, we should stay away from our screens, but if it’s not realistic you can put a blue light filter on your phone if you really need to check your news feed, but try not to get into the habit of checking your emails. The fact is that if you feel you’ve got to check your emails outside of working hours, you can try a lot of these methods but you also may want to think if you are working properly, because it is far better to keep giving your all during working hours, so when the end of the working day comes, you can down tools and unwind properly.
What are your thoughts? Are you able to switch off? Please share in the comments below. I really would love to know.
Until next time, shine amongst the stars!

Four great tips of switching off here, I have a bedtime routine and try to follow it to get ready for bedtime and some relaxation
Bedtime routine is one of my struggles, lol. I used to play games and never noticed until it was late. But I’m trying to avoid using phone before going to sleep so I can sleep well.
I definitely need to get a consistent bedtime routine in place and I think one of the biggest things for me is to not bring technology into the bedroom with me! Great article!
