Five (5) weekend habits to boost happiness

Hello everyone!

If you only work weekdays, the weekend gives you two days in which you shouldn't think about work, giving your body and mind time to relax and unwind. Keep reading to discover five (5) weekend habits to boost your happiness. 

Unplug.

Step away from your electronics. Make an effort to unplug for at least a few consecutive hours on the weekends. 

Prioritise the important things.

Weekends are the time to keep your work-life balance in check. Spending time with your loved ones, partner, children, parents, family and friends, is never time wasted.

Stay active.

There’s no better way to burn off the stress of the work week than engage in physical activity. Exercise can help lower your overall stress levels and improve your quality of life, both mentally and physically. 

Make time for hobbies.

Studies show that hobbies give us lower stress, better health, better sleep and better moods. Other benefits include less depression, more social connections, improved work performance, and increased happiness.

Relax.

Find ways to relax, such as working in the garden, painting, reading, meditation, yoga, getting a massage or taking a bath. 

Get ready for the rest of the week.

Here are some examples:

• Prepare food for the week and freeze it to enjoy at a later time.
• Plan what you are going to wear in the coming week.
• Fill up your car with fuel.

These are not complex tasks; they are simple, mindful, healthy things you can do. 

Have a beautiful, peaceful weekend!
