After long hours of analysis of classification, tedious paper and hours of written report, the average worker simply not can relax knowing that they there are still more things to do in the House. Eight hours in the Office is followed by more chores such as cleaning the room be, wash dishes or do laundry. Being at home is equal to another work shift, but this time, without the need to wear that tie or pair long Prada heels.



However, it is a great consolation to do household chores. As opposed to being in the Office, doing more work at home allows to enjoy the benefits of being in the company of loved ones. As a bonus, the pet lover can also enjoy being with a pleasant companion that helps one get stress and anxiety in the Office. Having a pet, and you have a family, can be a real stress-buster.

Still, no matter how tedious and exhausting day of his Office, had a time relaxed with his family and pets should be considered as an alternative method of "therapeutic" for promoting health.
