Trading week is almost over and the weekend is now just around the corner. We get the chance to relax and unwind after a long week of trading. But sometimes we are so worked up that we forget what it is like – to relax. And moreover we struggle to look for ways to relax. So, I decided to look for the most relaxing things to do on the weekends.
1. Reading.
2. Meditation.
3. Listening to favorite music.
4. Massage.
5. Get down to your hobby.
6. Go for a hike.
7. Stay away from your computer.
8. Take a long bath.
9. Enjoy your meals.
10. Do everything unavailable for you during the week.
1. Reading.
Reading is good. We have all grown up with that notion. At school and at home a lot of people were subjected to this fact. And maybe even if as children we hated reading, as adults a lot of us find this activity relaxing. Read everything, down to your guilty pleasure books. Historical novels, fantasy, detective books – everything that you can think of. Try and take about an hour each weekend day for your reading.
2. Meditation.
Slow breathing, scented candles, relaxing music, you and your thoughts – that is what meditation is about. You are relaxing alone with your own thoughts and no one is allowed to bother you. That is what happiness is to a lot of people. Plus, meditating is a really good way to recharge your batteries after a work day.
3. Listening to favorite music.
Listening to music releases pheromones into our brain. These pheromones help us feel happiness and relaxation. And listening to music regularly can decreased the level of stress as well as help you cope with various unpleasant events that you may come across.
4. Massage.
Relaxing in a massage parlor is not something that everyone has time for. But on the weekends If your schedule is wide-open you simply must dedicate some time to self-care. Get a double-massage with your significant other as well. That is a true relaxing and a very romantic experience.
5. Get down to your hobby.
Make some time for your hobby. That goes without saying, right? You need to dedicate time to what you like to do, no matter what it is.
6. Go for a hike.
Walking in the woods can be refreshing and relaxing. You can engage in bird-watching and listening, you can try and hunt for some wild mushrooms and you can go fishing. Whatever it is you do during a hike is going to be a true classically relaxing experience for you.
7. Stay away from your computer.
On the weekends it is generally better to stay away from whatever reminds you of your job. And staying away from your computer is step one in this regard. Plus, your eyes are going to be thankful to you for giving them a little rest.
8. Take a long bath.
Taking a long a relaxing bath is akin to meditating. Especially is there are candles and music involved. A properly-prepared bath with oils and bath salts can also be beneficial for your health overall.
9. Enjoy your meals.
Take time with your meal. During the week we usually do not have time for a long lunch and dinner as we simply have too much to do. But during the weekend you can give yourself that luxury of a long and thought-through meal. Enjoy every bite!
10. Do everything unavailable for you during the week.
Everything that you are putting off to the weekend time is to be done on the weekend. Enjoy doing all of the things that you were so looking forward to do.
