Taking out time for relaxation is difficult for most people, but prevention is better than cure. Some of the things that may be helpful.

1. Take out 30-45 minutes in a day where you can switch off your phone/emails and relax.
2. This time can be used for whatever your interests or hobbies are like meditation, breathing exercises, reading, listening to music, etc.
3. Try and pick up a new hobby- Photography, some new software on computer.
4. Going to Gym can help in multiple ways, it can obviously improve your physical health but also alongside increase your confidence and social interaction.
5. Trying and engaging in learning new music instruments or dance classes can particularly be good.
6. Morning walks or yoga at home (Pranayam) are again excellent options, this again improves the fitness levels and promotes free thinking.
7. No activity that relaxes you is big or small, for most of people the interests that they used to have before will still be the easiest to get engaged in again and these may be knitting, stitching, cooking, gardening etc.
8. Going out for a meal or film.
9. For people with Dementia or early onset dementias, trying to continuously stimulate the mind is very important, whether it is by doing Sudoku, cutting vegetables or playing carrom board/ cards.

These are some of the things that Patients find useful but you may have your own ways to relax which may be helpful.
