Since November 27, I’ve been working at a catering company with a schedule from 4 a.m. to noon, Monday through Friday. Because of this busy routine, I haven’t had the chance to visit or leave comments on your blogs as often as usual over the past few days. This article also serves as a small excuse and an honest explanation. Thank you very much for your understanding, patience, and continued support.

After spending almost eight hours at work, it’s very normal to feel tired, exhausted, and low on energy. This is something I experience almost every day. I work from early morning until noon, and by the time I get home, my body feels heavy and my mind feels slow. Because of that, I believe it’s important to have simple ways to help our body and mind recover after daily work activities.
Before getting into the tips, I’d like to share a small note with my friends and fellow bloggers around the world. Since November 27, I’ve been working at a catering company with a schedule from 4 a.m. to noon, Monday to Friday. This busy routine has limited my time and energy, and I haven’t been able to visit or leave comments on your blogs as often as usual over the past few days. This article is also a small excuse and an honest explanation. Thank you so much for your understanding and patience.
Now, let’s talk about some simple and realistic ways to refresh our body after work.
One of the easiest things you can do is take a short walk. You don’t need to go far. A 10–15 minute walk around your home or neighborhood can help your body relax and your mind slow down. Walking helps improve blood circulation and releases some of the tension built up during work.
Next, try gentle stretching. After working for hours, especially if you stand, sit, or move a lot, your muscles can feel stiff. Stretch your arms, shoulders, back, and legs slowly. You don’t need special equipment. Just listen to your body and breathe calmly while stretching.
Taking a shower is another simple but powerful habit. A warm shower can relax your muscles, while a cool shower can make you feel fresh again. Choose what feels best for you. A shower also helps mark the end of your workday and the start of your personal time. Don’t forget to drink water. Sometimes we feel more tired because our body lacks fluids. Drink a glass of water when you get home. You can also have a light snack like fruit or yogurt to give your body a gentle energy boost.
Another helpful tip is to sit quietly and breathe for a few minutes. Before checking your phone or turning on the TV, take a short pause. Close your eyes, take slow breaths, and let your thoughts settle. This small habit can reduce stress and help your mind relax.
Listening to your favorite music or a podcast is also a great way to refresh your mind. You can use earphones, a headset, or even play music softly at home. Some people enjoy calm music, others prefer upbeat songs, podcasts, or even nostalgic sounds. Even 10–20 minutes can improve your mood and help you feel more relaxed.
Finally, do something you enjoy and prepare for good rest. Read a book, talk with family, or simply lie down and relax. Good sleep is essential to help your body recover and get ready for the next day. Feeling tired after work is normal. The key is to take small, kind steps to care for yourself. Simple habits, done consistently, can make a big difference over time

A Message From Asep Haryono
"Thank you so much for your time here. I really appreciate your precious moment here as well. Please leave any comment down below. Let me hear from you. Greetings from Indonesia"
Thanks for the mention Asep :-D These are good tips. I like a nice shower after work. Before my ankle break I worked nightshift a few nights a week in a canteen and found it exhausting! And the shower helped me relax.
ReplyDeleteI wonder when I will be able to get back to work again. I am now 7 weeks post operation and started physiotherapy to get the ankle moving and get strength back into it. It is painful, but a pain I can handle and the physio said I MUST keep it moving and start walking and putting more weight on it, so I can see good results and walk properly again.
Good morning from Indonesia.

Hi Mrs Ananka, thank you so much for sharing your story and for the kind words
I can imagine how exhausting night shifts in a canteen can be even without an injury, it’s really tough. I’m glad a nice shower helped you relax back then.
I’m sorry to hear about your ankle, but it’s encouraging to know you’re already in physiotherapy. Seven weeks post-operation is a big step, and it’s great that you’re staying strong and positive. Painful, yes but it sounds like the kind of pain that leads to progress.
I really hope your recovery goes smoothly and that you’ll be able to walk comfortably and return to work again soon.
Wishing you strength and steady healing. Thanks again for stopping by
Thanks Asep much appreciated. Looking forward to when I can walk properly again :-D
