SPEND TIME WITH PEOPLE
SUDDENLY YOU’LL HAVE A LOT OF FREE TIME ON YOUR HANDS, SO RESTORE SOME NORMALITY TO YOUR SOCIAL LIFE. SPEND TIME WITH YOUR FAMILY OR CATCHING UP WITH FRIENDS.
YOU’RE NO LONGER RUNNING TO A REVISION SCHEDULE SO THERE WON’T BE AN UNDERLYING FEELING OF GUILT IF YOU CHAT FOR TOO LONG OR IF YOU DECIDE TO DO SOMETHING SPONTANEOUS.
TREAT YOURSELF
5
Whether it’s going shopping, playing video games, having a spa day or just watching Netflix sprawled across the sofa, it’s vitally important that you take some time for yourself to unwind.
Do some exercise, bake something, read a book or start a new hobby. Let your brain chill out for a few days.
After all, it’s been working hard and will need a break.
