We all look forward to the end of our work day when we are able to relax and unwind. For many people, that relaxation period comes with a little guilt that we aren’t being productive in some way. Our work-focused society has trained us to make us feel guilty about not using every moment of the day to either be making money or bettering ourselves in some way.
If you have a hard time escaping this mindset and can’t let go of the guilt, there are several ways you can make the most of the time you take to relax by learning something simultaneously. We are going to go over some of the best ways to learn something while relaxing at the same time. If there’s one thing society has trained us to do well, it’s multitasking.
1. Take some CBD and listen to a podcast.
If you’ve never heard of CBD (cannabidiol) oil, you’re missing out. This product is the purest form of the hemp plant and promotes relaxation, the ability to focus and many other aspects for peak physical and mental wellness. If you have a hard time relaxing, an all-natural CBD tincture for muscle pain and restlessness might be perfect for you.
This extraction of the cannabis plant doesn’t have THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), which is the psychoactive ingredient that makes you feel “high.” Some people report that THC causes them to lose focus, fall asleep quickly and feel restless. With CBD oil, which works directly with your endocannabinoid system and cannabinoid receptors, the side effects reported are generally much more mild.
Podcasts are on the rise all over the world. In 2020 it was reported that more than 100 million Americans listened to at least one podcast each month. By definition a podcast is an episodic series of spoken word digital audio files that a user can download to a personal device for easy listening. While many podcasts are purely for entertainment, most have a goal to teach their listeners about something, whether it’s technology, business or even astronomy. If you are interested in a topic, there is most likely a podcast dedicated to discussing it.
If you want to relax this evening after your work day, take a dropper full of CBD tincture, put on a podcast and make the most of your evening.
2. Learn some new card and table games.
You can always pop into a casino if you are looking to expand your card and table game skills, whether it’s blackjack, slot machines or taking your chances in a poker room. This is a great way to relax, but you will also be sharpening the strategy skills in your brain, so you don’t have to feel guilty about gambling and spending a little cash.
If it’s your first time in a casino or playing a specific game, the dealer is more than likely going to be willing to go slow and help you understand the game. Of course, playing these games online is a great option, but sometimes it’s advantageous to learn alongside real people in a live casino.
3. Visit a quiet museum.
Not all museums are going to promote relaxing environments. Children’s museums and other live history museums that promote learning through interactive play and programming might not be the best for relaxing and learning at the same time.
If you are close to any major city, there is most likely a large list of museums that have quiet, peaceful environments that you can be sure to relax and learn in at the same time. Art exhibits and other history-focused museums are a great place to unwind while keeping your brain productive.
