   Listen to ocean wave sounds
  
  Wave sounds from the ocean have been discovered as one of the finest ways to relax the mind. You can download mp3 ocean wave sounds and have a good time chilling at home, place of work or anywhere entirely. But a better alternative would be to go to the beach and feel the ocean sound as real as it is. Try YouTube for many of such

  Lie down on a green field
  
  Get the best of nature by simply finding a quiet green field and have your mind ease away into calmness and tranquility. Break away from the concrete jungle of stress and reconnect with nature. Lie there for about thirty minutes, even if you have to do some thinking in process, go ahead and see how relaxed you will feel afterwards.

  Read something
  
  Maybe you have been staring at a computer long enough to want to make your eyes pop out. You can quickly switch to something entirely different like reading your favorite novel, magazine or anything at all, just make sure it keeps you interested for as long as it takes. A short productive reading break to distract you in a positive way by breaking you from stressful thoughts is always welcome.

  Meditate on pleasant thoughts
  
  
  Meditation is another fine exercise to engage in when you are feeling tired or exhausted. Simply find a quiet and comfortable spot to sit down, have your eyes closed and find a calm space within your "mental environment" i.e. your happy place. It is best to have a bit of ambient, relaxing sound playing in the background. And by the time you are done, you should be feeling a lot more lightened and freshened up.

  Go see a movie
  
  Maybe your mind is all worked up from having a long day at work. Going to see that movie that you’ve been longing to see for a while now, will not be that much of a bad idea after-all. By the time you get half way into the movie, you should feel much relaxed and alive again.

  Try the massage parlor
  
  Perhaps the nature of your work is very tedious as it causes you to engage in some physical activities which is usually responsible for all the pain you get afterwards. Going to that massage parlor to have your body massage is the perfect solution for you, so don’t hesitate one bit!

  Talk to your lover

  Take a nap
  
  We get tired from time to time, most especially if we’ve worked our bodies through the day and most of the time the only possible remedy would be to take a nap. Be rest assured that by the time you wake up, the tiredness would have been long gone.
