Find a way to get the stress of a bad day at work out before you spend time with your loved ones. No one likes to be stuck discussing your negative emotions from work, so you have to release this work related stress before you meet them. So writing down the things that gave you bad feelings during the day at your job will help you get these feeling out into the open and will help you to let those feelings go. At least start off by writing down the one bad thing that you are hung up on and make sure to think about it as you are writing it down. Bring up all of the negative thoughts and emotions you have about this and then take the piece of paper you have put all these feeling on and then get rid of it. Leave your thoughts with the paper and do not think about them while you are talking with your partner. You can now interact with the ones you love without having those negative thoughts floating around in your head.
One other way to let loose of your stress from work is to do something that is active and gets your heart pumping. Playing in a recreational or competitive league, running a couple of miles or even going to the gym will help release all of those negative thoughts out of your head and you body will benefit from it as well. Once you are done exercising, you can go back to those that you want to spend time with and enjoy their company as they will enjoy yours, especially now that you do not have the stress of your job with you.
