**A favourite way to relax but let the mind wander is to do a jigsaw puzzle. All sorts of ideas spring up – the only problem with leaving out a puzzle to work on is that you can get obsessed with finishing it!

​

**Or take a gentle walk and let your mind wander where it will for 10 minutes or so. Then remember to enjoy and appreciate your surroundings.

​

**Crosswords and similar puzzles keep your mind sharp and can be very relaxing. Again, don’t obsess about it or it becomes a chore.

​

**Another mind-sharpener is to learn another language. Try out Duo Lingo online. It's free and there are a huge number of languages you could learn in just a few minutes a day
