Happy Friday! Today also happens to be National Relaxation Day. But how much time do we really NEED to spend relaxing?
A study found that 42% of your total day should go toward rest and relaxation. That’s just over 10 hours per day.
If you sleep eight hours (and who doesn’t?), that leaves two hours for other forms of relaxation, like talking with your friends or partner, exercising, and eating.
Your body and mind need at least that much time to help you recharge and to avoid burning out.
But it doesn’t necessarily need to be consistent every day. If life gets crazy during the week, you can fit in more downtime during the weekend to make up for it.
So if you think you were deficient in relaxation this week, try to spend a few extra hours relaxing this weekend.
