Having a rough week? Whether you’re stressed, overwhelmed or feeling anxious, it’s never a bad time to give yourself some TLC.
After all, you get to be the best version of yourself when you take care of your well-being first! You can easily handle challenges at work, you can be a better friend and family member, and even share your positive energy to the world. Weekend is the best time to do self-care practices as you have more extra hours of alone time. Take advantage of this weekend to unwind, energize and let go any stress. 1. Have a spa day. This is not your usual all-the-time kind of self-care but in case you’re feeling like you need some extra TLC and your mental state isn’t doing well, this could be the perfect time for a spa day. Detox and unwind in the sauna or hot tub. 2. Spend an hour in meditation. A daily 10-minute practice is great, but sometimes turning your mind away from hectic thoughts for longer periods can be extremely powerful and do wonders for your health. 3. Go for a long walk outside. Being with nature can be incredibly calming. A quiet walk in the sun can do wonders for your mood. Get moving, get the blood flowing, and take some time to find peace. 4. Get a massage. Taking care of your muscles is great for your health and well-being. 5. Try a 90-minute yoga practice. You might not have time during the week to take those extra 30 minutes for stretching, restoring, and meditation — but on the weekend, you totally can! 6. Turn off your phone for a day. Try to do a digital detox even for a day. Disconnect from technology and turn off all work-related business. If that’s impossible, try deleting all your social media apps just for a day — see how you feel when there’s no pressure from the outside world. 7. Take a long bath. Soak in some salts, even get yourself a fancy bath bomb, light a candle, maybe even pour a glass of wine! This is your time, so soak it all in, and don’t feel bad about lingering! 8. Make your favorite meals. Workweek is too hectic and draining to prepare meals. The weekend is the perfect time to get a few calm hours for you to make whatever the heck brings you joy. 9. Sleep in. If you’ve been deprived of some zzz’s during the workweek, taking naps and sleeping in is the best way to catch up on the weekend and take care of yourself. Cheers to a stress-free weekend! |
