There is one more weekend in front of you! If you have been working all week, if you feel stressed out and tired... you need to use your
weekend in the best possible way. And that means, not in your bed or on the
couch. Even if it currently sounds like a great idea.
If you want to feel truly refreshed by Monday I bring you
some advices that I found great and inspirational...
SLOW START, VERY SLOW START
Turn off the alarm and sleep, and sleep, and sleep....and
then, roll over and sleep more. Totally guilt-free. Take a good rest. Your body needs it more than you think.
SOCIALIZE
Even if you feel like it would be the best thing to spend
day in your pajamas in front of the TV or your computer (of course, that could
be also one of great days :) ) make a change and during the week organize to take up with your
friends or/and family. Especially if you did not see them for a longer period of
time. Socializing with people who you cherish helps you to feel connected and
loved. And that is one of the predictors of happiness.
MEDITATE
Take half an hour over the weekend just for you. Sit in
quiet and comfortable place and start with deep breathing. Enjoy these moments
of peace. Pray to God, be grateful for every single beautiful thing in your
life, or meditate, just clear your mind... Just like you clear your body from
toxins, try to clean your mind and spirit from toxic thoughts.
EXERCISE
Use your body and keep it strong and healthy. Exercise
sparks the release of endorphins that make you feel good. So, all you need is
to get sweat. Outdoor, on the fresh air cause people who exercise outside feel
more energetic. You can jog, ride a bike, swim, do yoga with your friend, go
for a long walk whit your boyfriend... just do whatever you like the most. Just
be active. The feeling after good exercise is really, really great!
UNPLUG
No TV, no newspapers, no news, no web surfing. Can you do
that for a day? Try! Instead, be out with your kids, friends, or
boyfriend...enjoy nature, clean your house, organize your wardrobe, go for a
one day trip, read a book, cook some complicated meal and invite your friends
for a dinner... Imagine what you would do if there is no TV, computer or Smartphone.
Be creative! And let me tell you one more interesting fact: Sociologists at the
University of Maryland found that unhappy people watch 30% more TV than happy
ones.
