The weekend, two days of the week that everyone looks forward to. Five days of hard work ending with two days of relaxation. There are so many things that can be done in these two days. So many, that two days may seem less. It at times does seem less, especially when you sleep through most of it, then waking up to half the day gone.
Some people enjoy sleeping in, some people don’t enjoy sleeping in. Sleeping in on the first day of your weekend is good. It helps the brain to relieve itself of the pent up waste it builds up the whole week.
Why Do Things On Weekends
Your body is a machine which needs rest and activities to keep alive and maintain good health. The five days of hard work tend to take a toll on your body, making it stiff, as it is made to follow a schedule and sit on a seat for a long time. This also weakens the body, making it unhealthy. Weekends are thus meant to help relax and refresh the body, so that the next five days can get more productive. Your body needs to do things that it does not do during the week. There are certain activities that you can do to relax the body and charge its battery.
Energise The Body
There are many activities that can be done to rest the body and increase its productivity. Clocking your body to things that are different from what you do during the five days is one way. Getting some hobby is another way to help the body and mind. A hobby is very helpful for the mind, as it is a way the brain loses the sense of being stuck in a cubicle and feels free. A few hobbies one can get are:
- Reading
- Playing an instrument
- Learning a new language
These hobbies help the brain deviate from the monotonous weekdays and find joy in activities. When the brain is relaxed, the body is too.
Sometimes travelling is a good way to relax. Visiting a good calm area brings about freshness to the body. Going up a hill, a valley or a forest can be taken as an option. These places are good as they are filled with trees and shrubs which provide fresh air and tons of oxygen. This air filled with oxygen fills the blood and rejuvenates every cell in your body. And that is what your body needs, a couple of days to refresh.
Learning photography helps you in more ways than one. Photography is capturing a beautiful moment in a frame. Learning photography makes you go to different beautiful places you’ve not been before. Increase your curiosity of nature and people.
Be Hobby Friendly
Have a hobby is one of the best ways to spend your weekend. Hobby has a very positive effect on your brain. It actually heals your brain of stress and other negative impacts that happen during a week, making you positive.
Every hobby you have teaches you something, slowly increasing your talents and skills, which improve the learning capacity of your brain, in turn increasing your overall productivity.
Weekends Are Made to Be Spent
Weekends need to be spent doing something not wasted sleeping. Not just because it is suggested by a lot of people, but even because it is good for your body and your brain.
