What phrase would you use to express that you relax at home after work and don't do any special activity ?

If what I want to say is that the only thing I do after work is resting, I think I could use one of these

I take a break at home after work. I get some rest at home after work.

However, I am not sure what expression I can use to mean that

I don't do anything special at home after work but I just chill out at home

chill out at home

feels the closest to what I mean to say but I am wondering if there is any other way of saying this, possibly a little bit more formal.

  • Perhaps: When I get home from work, I just like to sit down and relax for a while. This doesn't feel too lazy or out of the ordinary. Informal, I would say : After work, I'm gonna chill for a bit. That uses slang though so be careful :) Jun 10, 2015 at 0:24

You could use the following phrases:

  • ...unwind at home.

  • ...take it easy at home.

  • ...loosen up (although not very commonly used) at home.

  • ...take a break.

There are many words for relaxing in English, although you have to be careful in formal language because many of them are in the "slang" region.
