Rather than cramming more into your busy schedule this spring, simply enjoy doing nothing

- 

Full of plans for the Easter holidays? Or planning on relaxing? If it’s the latter, don’t feel guilty about taking a nap or clearing your diary over the upcoming bank holidays. Doing nothing can be good for your health and wellbeing - you just need to do it right. From ditching your phone to daydreaming the right way, our experts reveal how to get all the benefits from your much-needed downtime.

Make me-time

Whether it's taking 30 minutes to listen to birdsong with your morning cuppa or soaking in the bath, we all have solo, relaxing rituals that keep us happy and healthy. But with our ever-busier schedules, these simple pleasures often get shunted off the radar. If this keeps happening, use your days off this Easter to make a date - with yourself!

* TRY THIS 'If you take time to think about how you want to spend your day or weekend, you can shape your reality,' explains time-management expert Clare Evans. 'Map out specific hours that you want to devote to relaxation.' Treat those diary appointments as if they were important meetings and promise to stick to them.
