8 tips to relax and unwind this Christmas season - Cape Town ETC

There comes a time to work and a time to play, and for those lucky enough to have these holidays off, use your play time wisely. If only "chill-out" were as natural as it sounds, it often takes a lot more discipline and mirror discussions.

If you check and reply to emails on time all year round, relaxation can seem strange, you might feel a little guilty. Every time your phone vibrates, your heart will drop a little. But here are eight ways to relax and unwind this holiday season:

Take the time to dust off the bestsellers that you've bought but never had time to read. It's finally time to let go. This activity ensures that your December voucher stays hidden while being filled with knowledge and ideas.

• Connect again

It's time to slow down and catch up with this cousin who travels the world alone or likes to be liked on Instagram by his high school friend. Now we can reconnect with people regardless of the weather.

It seems like everyone has stayed in shape this year, some more than others. If you can understand, now is the time to put our New Year's resolutions into action and hit the gym.

Sort, store and dispose of. You can finally get rid of your trash to clean up for the new year. Eyes roll while reading, because who wants to go on vacation to clean, but can it be therapeutic and relaxing? Put your favorite jams in and have fun with them.

Another crucial element is rest. Rest without feeling guilty about being "online". For many, this is easier said than done, but now is the time to relax all day and get "productive" on the sidewalk, you deserve it!

• Go out

Explore your neighborhood and go to the nearest cafe or park. Cut down on screen time and get much-needed vitamin D.

• Don't set an alarm

Turn off your 20 alarm clocks and enjoy the many moments that you spend in bed doing nothing. Or surprise your partner with breakfast in bed before retiring for a few more hours.

• Enjoy every breakfast

How many mornings have they spent devouring oatmeal, dreaming about baking pancakes and eating breakfast at the table? Time to play master chef in the kitchen and discover some great recipes. How about a late breakfast on Monday, enjoy sweet waffles, or make it a family affair and teach the kids how to make shakshuka?
