It can be easy to get stuck on the treadmill of life: work, eat, sleep, repeat. While a lot of our day to day is dictated by routine, it doesn’t all have to be mundane. Add in a few simple and enjoyable lifestyle tweaks and you can create meaningful moments to boost your wellbeing.
For starters, take advantage of appliances that do the jobs you’d rather not, like your dishwasher. That’s what it was invented for! Granted, you still have to pack it, but once everything’s in there you can pretty much set it and forget it until it’s time to put your sparkling clean dishes away, no scrubbing required.
Pop a Finish Ultimate Plus tablet in your dishwasher for great results at the press of a button. The tablet gives your dishes a deep intensive clean and works hard to tackle those tough stains, all without pre-rinsing.
If your dishwasher leaves your dishes wet and your glasses covered in spots Finish has you covered there too. Finish Rinse & Shine Aid offers 2x better drying~ and spot prevention. It also contains glass protection to help protect your glasses from becoming cloudy*.
So now the washing up is sorted, here are five easy ways to make the most of your evening.
Stretch your legs
An after-dinner stroll is good for the body, mind and soul. Italians call it ‘la passeggiata’, which traditionally refers to a routine evening wander around the central piazza by a town’s residents. Don’t have a local town square? A walk around the block can be just as enjoyable as you enjoy the sights and sounds of your local area.
Make a connection
If there are people in your life you keep meaning to catch up with, why not pick up the phone or send them an email to let them know you’re thinking of them? Ten minutes on the phone can be enough to reconnect with a friend.
Get into reading
Reading is a relaxing way to practise mindfulness. Whether you’re a traditional book lover or an e-reader devotee, the act of reading allows our brain to process content in a different way.
Your local library is a great source of reading inspiration if you’re not sure where to start, and many have online catalogues you can browse. They can also put you in touch with local book clubs which are a great way to meet like-minded souls, especially if you’re a fan of tea and cake (or wine and cheese platters)!
Prioritise sleep
What better way is there to finish a day than with a restful night’s sleep? If you’ve been burning the candle at both ends (especially as the year draws to a close), sleep might be just what you need to reset. Sleep not only lets your body perform all its essential functions, but it also ‘washes’ your brain so you can start the new day refreshed.
Any way you choose to finish your day, isn’t it more enjoyable doing something uplifting than dealing with the drudgery of washing up?
Let Finish help by saving you the effort of scrubbing pots and pans and dirty dishes. Finish even has dishwasher cleaners to help tackle hidden grease and limescale that build up inside your dishwasher. And in case you needed any more reasons to pop a Finish Ultimate Plus dishwashing tablet in and press ‘start’? Using your dishwasher instead of handwashing can save up to 180 litres of water a week.^
