It’s easy to resort to unhealthy habits when we’re feeling fatigued. However, as the world gets more hectic, it’s more important than ever to find activities that take care of your mental health. Wellness activities are a great way to unwind during the weekend and help you cope with your emotions. Additionally, they help improve your relationships with family and friends. If you’re looking for things to do during the weekend, here are some wellness activities you can do alone or with the family.

  1. Get A Colouring Book

Pick up your colouring kit and channel your inner artist. Whether you do it alone or with the kids, colouring can be very therapeutic. Since you need to pay full attention when colouring, it can be a good way to distract yourself and explore your creative side at the same time. Not to mention, colouring is quite a fun wellness activity.

6 Reasons Why Colouring Is Good For Everyone, Including Adults

  1. Make A Gratitude List

This is a good way to analyze how your week has been and focus on the positive things that happened. Before starting your weekend activities, make sure you list down things that you’re grateful for. This will help you relax knowing that there are things that went right and you’ve had a productive week contrary to what you may have thought. It’s also a good activity to keep you grounded and focus on what is working.

Here are 10 ways to show gratitude #Asante

  1. Exercise Deep Breathing

Take a few minutes throughout the weekend to practice some deep breathing exercises. The act of deep breathing helps you become consciously aware of your environment thus making you more present. Additionally, deep breathing has immense benefits on your physical health as it helps release toxins from the body. Not to mention, it releases endorphins which can help deal with anxiety and depression. 7 Benefits Of Deep Breathing Exercises

  1. Clean Out Your Closet

You can spend your weekend sorting out your closet situation. Whether there are some old sweaters that need to go to the laundromat or clothes you’d never wear in this day and age, sort them out in different piles and only return clothes that evoke happiness. You can either store the ones you don’t need or donate them. This activity may last you the whole weekend but you’ll end up feeling a sense of accomplishment.

8 Ways Downsizing Improves Your Life

  1. Sleep

Sleeping is an underrated wellness activity but it can do so much to boost your physical and mental health. During the weekend, try to get as much rest as possible. If you don’t need to leave the house, don’t. Start your day with some breakfast in bed, get some additional quality sleep then later you can watch your favourite shows in bed. You’ll be surprised what some downtime can do to your well-being. This is also a good time to create a healthy sleep schedule.

Here are 10 Dangers Of Insufficient Sleep

  1. Cook A Healthy Meal

Wellness includes taking care of your physical well-being as well. As such, you should practice healthy eating. Try to eat at least one green food each day and drink the recommended amount of water. This plays a key role in promoting mental wellness as well since such foods boost your energy levels and combat diseases. It’s also a good opportunity to clean out your fridge and make it healthier.
