You are currently viewing PLEASANT WAYS TO ENJOY YOUR DAY OFF

EAT HEALTHY

It’s easy to eat well during the workweek – between cooking at home and taking lunch to the office, we can often manage to keep our choices reasonably healthy. However, many of us fall off the wagon on weekends by overindulging. While there is nothing wrong with an occasional decadent meal or sumptuous dessert, keep in mind that your body’s chemistry does not check out on your days off! Pay attention to how different foods make you feel, and remember that there is a price to pay for going off the deep end.

SPEND TIME WITH FAMILY
“ Family is everything “This is a statement that cannot be over .’Family is there through thick and thin. They are people who have known you for your whole life. While they don’t always offer support, they are a connection that needs nurturing once in a while. Call your parents, visit your sister, have tea with your Aunt…make a few hours for the people who have known you longest.
DO SOME RANDOM ACT OF KINDNESS

Maybe you don’t want to spend your day in a building volunteering, but you still want to get the feeling that helping others can give you. Look around you and see how you can help. You can pick up garbage on your street or let someone in front of you in line. The sky is the limit! Just remember, BE KIND and expect nothing in return
