We all love weekends, don’t we? Running through our hectic schedules day in and day out, weekends come across as a respite which allows us to pause, ease up and prepare ourselves for another chaotic week which is about to begin.

But really, how many of our weekends do we actually spend resting, or taking a break? More often than not, we end up running errands or meeting personal obligations which we are unable to fulfil during weekdays, owing to our workplace commitments. However, such one-track routines are not a sign of a healthy lifestyle and can pose serious health issues in the long run. It is therefore important to let loose and give yourself a break, and that is precisely what weekends are for.

Use these tips to spend your weekends better:

At times, step aside from the rat race: While it is a good thing to be competitive and meet and exceed goals and expectations at work, sometimes it just makes sense to step aside and take a break. Don’t wear out your mind and body by pushing harder and harder. Acknowledge the fact that weekends are a welcome break and give up the habit of carrying work home. This is the first step towards ensuring that you have enough time to spend your weekends better.

Relax and Rejuvenate: While partying once in a while is a good thing to do, wasting half your weekends recovering from the all-night celebration fatigue is not. Instead of exhausting yourself even further, focus on how you can relax and rejuvenate over the weekend. A visit to the spa, a soothing massage, meditation sessions or even a relaxing bath in the comfort of your home will leave you feeling refreshed and recharged over the weekend.

Try something new: Apart from allowing your senses to unwind, it is also important to open up your mind to new horizons, which is highly beneficial for your overall development. A good way to do so is by picking up a different activity and exploring something new every weekend. A weekend getaway, an adventurous trek, a picnic with family, reading a book, attending an event or watching a play are all good examples of breaking the monotony of everyday life and doing something new, and weekends offer ample amount time and opportunities to do so.
