After a long, busy week, it’s time to recharge. Taking the time to care for yourself is part of a healthy, long-term career success. Instead of lying around all weekend, let’s revamp your approach to relaxation. Here’s how:
Quiet Time
Usually a busy week is full of hustle and bustle. Phones are ringing off the hook, people are coming in and out of your office. All the background noise makes it really hard to concentrate.
Set aside some quiet time on your days off. Take time to read, meditate, or go on a nice walk.
Get Moving
If your typical workday requires you to sit at a desk, your energy levels may decrease by the end of the week. It’s time to get the blood flowing!
Try going for a walk, dancing, exercising, playing with the dogs, anything other than sitting on the couch all day. Any type of physical exercise can reduce stress and make you feel good!
Take Care of Errands
Your everyday tasks can get lost in your busy work week, so set aside a portion of your day to catch up on these errands. Maybe you can go first thing in the morning to get them out of the way and to avoid peak business hours.
Sometimes it’s difficult to unwind during your days off, but it’s a practice that is worth practicing. Make sure to care for yourself so that you may feel restored and valued.
