Sunday's are supposed to be days of rest right? Days when weekdays come crashing down into nothingness. The perfect Sunday for me used to include a movie marathon, an inability to slip out of my pajamas, and some culinary feast that usually involves lots of chocolate. However, lately I've found myself with lots of to-do lists, traveling here and there, always in a mad rush to complete something.
I know a lot of people that end up with multiple lists as soon as friday rolls around, and the weekend just seems like two days to pack in as much as you can. People to meet—gosh i'm so cool—and promises to keep. Doesn't feel like very Sunday-ish to me. So this week was all about winding down. Some much needed chill time. I can't even begin to tell you how crazy fun my weekend of nothing was. I had long baths and ate whatever i found in the house. I slept at odd hours and watched random movies at 6 in the evening.
Here are a five things that everyone should make time for on the weekends:
1. Bath-Time. I really do believe that making sure your shower time is as long as your nap time is the secret to a happy life. I love long baths. I love sweet smelling shampoos and body scrubs.
2. Sweet Treats. In my head, a traditional Sunday morning breakfast should always involve either pancakes, waffles or a generous helping of toast and scrambled eggs. And the rest of the day should follow with many more droll-worthy treats. I made cinnamon pancakes this Sunday, and even though they looked like something exploded on them... they made for the perfect treat! 5/10.
3. You-Time. I often forget to just chill on the weekends. Just stare into nothingness or enjoy my own company. Try and make time for yourself on Sundays. Even if that's to put some nail paint on or make a cup of hot chocolate for yourself. Put your phone aside, it's not as important as you are. Go shopping alone, get a haircut, listen to music in bed, watch youtube videos back to back, make up weird dance steps...anything works.
4. Exercise. My weekdays are always 9 to 7 in front of the computer. I hardly get proper exercise or proper eye rest. This Sunday, I put those shoes on and went for a walk. The air felt great and I slapped myself on the head for not doing this sooner. For those who work like crazy on the week, make time for a little bit of exercise on the weekend. Even if it's a simple walk..trust me you'll feel awesome.
5. Planning. I love writing down lists. The idea of crossing out items on my to-do list makes me happy. Weird? I know. This Sunday i made a list of what my week was going to look like in terms of work i have to finish. Made me feel a whole lot lighter and prepared for the coming week. I also made a mixtape to listen to in office! Proactive or what??
So obviously, I did a lot this Sunday even though i did practically nothing. Brilliant right. Let me know what your must-do weekend activities are!
Till next time.
