What to do on your day-off

It can be hard to take a day off, especially if you’re a student or work from home. It can seem wrong to relax because we think that we are “wasting time”. But I think it’s better to take a day off to relax now and then, instead of working until you’re completely drained physically, mentally, and emotionally.

So, if you’re able to take a day off for yourself when you need it, do it! Here are some things you can do on your day off:


Don’t set the alarm

Wake up naturally. Give your body all the rest he needs. Having a morning free from time restrictions will help you feel refreshed and ready for the day!


Eat a more elaborate breakfast

On workdays, we usually tend to forget breakfast, or we have something very simple and quick. So, plan a nice breakfast for your day off that you really enjoy and normally you don’t have time for.


Unplug

Don’t open e-mails or spend hours scrolling on social media. Forget all the social media things, you need to prioritize living in the moment.


Declutter your space

On our workdays, we usually don’t have time for this. So, put your favorite playlist on and take some time to clean and declutter your house, it’s very therapeutic as well.


Start a new hobby

Start that thing you’ve always wanted. If you don’t do it now, you never will because you’ll be back to work before you know it. Set yourself a goal to make the first step into starting that new hobby on your next day off.


Binge-watch your favorite TV show

Your day off is a great time to binge-watch some tv shows. It can also take your mind off work for a bit.


Get outside

Don’t spend the entire day stuck inside your house. Spend some time in your garden, at a near park, or go for a walk.


Have a self-care day

Don’t forget this one! Self-care is so important and we tend to forget it on our busy days. Spend your day off taking a long bath, have a face and hair mask, do your nails, whatever feels good for you, do it!


Experiment a new dish

Try to cook a new recipe or try to re-create one of your favorite restaurant dishes. You can also prep your meals for the next workdays.


How do you like to spend your day off? Let me know in the comments 😊
