Resolve
What's on your mind and how can you put it aside until tomorrow?
Relax
What helps you to stop, sit down and take time out from your day?
Release
What helps your mind switch off from your day-to-day pressures and allows you to drift and think about nothing in particular?
Whatever you choose try to spend at least 30 minutes at the end of the evening winding down and really taking time-out for you so you can put into practice the 3 R's.
