Outside time in the woods like you Swapnil, or a run and hot shower are great resets for me

I've also found taking some time for working in the garden or to focus on a task that frees my brain up helps reboot

great question, intrigued to see other answers

Usually do to a nice meal with the family, afterwards desert (something with lots of good chocolate) and a show / movie - really brings focus back to what's important

Just had it today.

I have a list of tasks that is a 'must do' every day. It takes around 2 hours.

Whenever I have a bad day, I do those tasks and stop working. This way, I don't feel bad because of not doing anything + I can still take a rest from working.
