Recharge & Refresh: Ways to Unwind on the Weekends and Make it Feel Longer
No one ever said that they wanted their weekend to go by fast
Most of us are relieved and psyched for the weekend when Friday morning arrives. The first thing anyone says on a Friday is “TGIF”! We all love our time to relax and unwind on the weekend.
We want the weekend to last forever. But how often do you get to Sunday night and feel like the weekend raced by?
Let me tell you a secret. My weekends almost always feel long and I have figured out why.
I create a weekend with a mix of productivity, fun, novelty, mindfulness, and gratitude.
I think novelty and gratitude are the heavy hitters are far as making the time slow down. I crave going to new places on the weekends. This can cost $0 and be within 10–30 miles of my home.
Or it can be a day trip. I mix it up.
I don’t go crazy here. I find new places to go — simple as that. It’s usually nature, coffee or kombucha shops, new stores, farmer's markets, new towns, or restaurants. I could go on and on.
It just needs to be new to me.
