A weekend means two days where you can recharge yourself and give yourself some time.
So you can make a big difference in your life by what you do in these two days.
When the five working days are busy like a machine, sometimes you can miss yourself, your home and your loved ones. So the weekend is two days to think about those things. If you are happy as a physically, mentally and socially balanced person, that happiness will flow from you to everyone around you.
And these things are very important to maintain a quality of life. The quality of your life is not determined by where you are, but by how you are. No matter where you are in the world, the person who doesn’t know how to be happy is enjoying life.
Therefore, anyone who wants to take an idea from these things to make the weekend productive can try them.
All these are very simple, small things. But as they always say, when a few small things come together, a big difference is made.
And the feeling of happiness is not based on the big or small of what you do. See for yourself rather than telling you about it.
01) Home Order
On a weekend, you can clean and tidy the house in the morning. Open the windows well in the morning.
Let the sunlight in, maybe if everyone at home is at work and children are going to school, it may not be possible to open a window at home five days a week. But actually, sunlight is a certain energy system.
It eliminates mouldy odours in homes naturally.
A house does not need scented candles to be fragrant. So don’t forget to keep the windows and doors open even on weekends.
And sweep the house. Break the dust. If you do this every weekend, you don’t need to do a deep clean with a lot of effort and worry. Wash piles of laundry.
Go to the garden and pick some flowers and place them in front of the house. You don’t need fresh flowers from shops. There are plenty of wildflowers to go down the garden. Put some flowers in a pot of water.
02) Do a DIY project
On a weekend you can freely do things like small projects. That means trying a new recipe, making some flower plants, cleaning out a closet that hasn’t been cleaned in a while, and setting aside some time to do something like crafting. Learn something new. These things can make a difference in a lonely life.
When you are gossiping about what other people are doing, work hard to plant a vegetable bed, and focus on things like additional sources of income and small business. At least in a month, you will have some non-toxic vegetables to eat, extra money, and you will have built your own business.
03) An evening with children
Stay with your kids for the weekend. Do things that will bring back beautiful memories for them. Do something that will increase their creativity. Do exercises related to soft skills together with them. There are gaps in some countries’ school education systems. But if you do the parenting part properly instead of criticizing them, you can fill those gaps at home.
04) Go outside
Go out a little on the weekend. Going out is not a very expensive task. You can go to the nearest park, a quiet temple, a church, or even the beach. Go and spend some free time with the environment. On arrival, eat an ice cream, and a handful of peanuts. Drink a fresh juice. If we want to be happy, we have to do big things, change the mind and do these things. You will feel very relaxed.
05) Me time
Set aside time for yourself on the weekend. Do journaling, budget plan, meal plan, and keep an opportunity to think freely. Especially mothers with children don’t want to do big things called me time. Making yourself a cup of tea and eating a biscuit while enjoying it without worry is also a me time.
Do a self-care routine. Self-care is not only bubble baths, manicures and pedicures. Combing your hair, heating some oil and applying it, taking a shower, trimming your nails and keeping your face clean are also self-care.
06) Ready for the new week
By Sunday afternoon you can prepare for the next week. Prepare clothes, prepare meals, and prepare bags. Don’t enjoy what you do. You can do these even while listening to a song or podcast.
If we change set, life is really easy. Instead of comparing yourself with others and ruining unnecessary competition, learn the way. Spend a weekend in a way that suits you.
