The key to having a great week is to have had a relaxing weekend where your brain and body can recharge and rejuvenate
Here are five ways to kick off a great bank holiday weekend...
Set a time when your weekend officially starts - You're more likely to wrap up the week’s work with a deadline. Once the time hits make sure you call it a day.
Close all loose ends - I find that anything unfinished in my mind on Friday niggles at me all the way until Tuesday. If you don't manage to finish all your work then add jobs to a to-do list, then you can put it at the back of the mind until Tuesday. Leave your office clean and efficiently organised.
Post work meditation - Close your eyes and take in a few breaths. You can do this anywhere - at your desk before you leave work, in the loo, on the commute home, or outside of your door before entering your home. Even 30 seconds will be enough to provide a little refresh and mark the end of one part of the day and beginning of another.
Do what you love - After a long day of working hard, it’s important to take time to do something that brings you joy and sends your body the signal that you are officially off-duty. This could be heading to a gym class, getting your hair done, listening to your favorite tunes while getting ready to go out, a long stroll through the park, baking, or heading straight to the pub. Whatever it is, it’s important and you deserve it!
Eat something scrumptious - Food is one of life's most simple and greatest pleasures, it doesn't have to be expensive or fancy, but it needs to put a smile on your face. Either cook a meal for yourself or have someone else cook it at a restaurant so you can relax and dine. Food tastes even better if you can share it with friends or family who make you happy.
Have an epic bank holiday weekend!
