Busy days can sometimes make you feel like you're never going to get your head above water, but it's so important to remember to take care of yourself [1] so that you don't get overwhelmed. Making relaxation a part of your daily routine to stay mentally and physically healthy can be hard, but you also need to know how to cater to your body's specific needs. For instance, if your day was filled with deadlines, maybe go for a run to relieve the tension.
