The important point about activities is a moderate schedule of activities with NO ACTIVITIES AT ALL that push your limits. Take you usual activity load and reduce it by one half. Take you maximum activity intensity and reduce it by three quarters. If you used to do an hour of aerobics, change that to 15 minutes of light body movement. Same for cognitive load.

And, DO NOT LOAD UP YOUR MEMORY. Use lists and reminders. Having a loaded day stored in memory is just too much stress. No multi-tasking. It is not good for a healthy brain.

Do not drive in congested traffic. Drive when the traffic is uncongested. Leave earlier or later to avoid it. A few minutes of congested traffic can undo days of quiet rest.

These all combine to give your brain a break.
