Hello and welcome!
The Online Community Team recently published a blog about giving yourself 'permission' to rest and relax. If you'd like to take a look, you can find it here:

While writing, it got us wondering: what do our Online Community members like to do when they need a break? We have many thousands of members, so there must be many thousands of different ideas out there. We thought it might be handy to have a thread where you can share your favourite relaxation activities with other Community members, and in turn it could be a great place to pick up some new ideas for yourself.
So now it's over to you. What are your favourite things to do when you need some rest and relaxation? Let us know with a reply below!
