Every weekend our body falls out of the working rhythm. That is why Monday turns into the hardest day of the week for many. To cope with this problem, you need to develop a certain fun Sunday routine that will help you tune in to the new week. We will tell you about what it is worth fun doing on a Sunday.
8 fun things to do on Sunday
1. Plan for the week
If you figure out this task on Sunday, you can start Monday without wasting time on the “buildup”. To make plans for the week, you need to do the following:
- Identify tasks for the week that will help you achieve short-term and other goals.
- Distribute the tasks by day, considering the daily workload, possible unforeseen cases, and difficulties.
- Mark priority tasks. There mustn’t be too many of them; otherwise, you risk facing anxiety.
- To make planning fun for you, get a handy notebook that fits your bag or download the app to your smartphone.
2. Add some physical activity
If you work with your head on weekdays and you don’t have time for sports, try to spend more time outdoors on weekends.
At the same time, physical activity must be moderate. Otherwise, you risk only harming your body. Go for a walk in the park, meditate, do yoga or swim. The main thing is that the action pleases you and gives you strength.
3. Take a relaxing bath and prepare your skin for the working week
Even an hour of Sunday time allocated for beauty treatments will help you maintain the health and beauty of your skin. Of course, this does not cancel the mandatory daily care, but you can devote this day to longer procedures—for example, peeling, scrubbing or self-massage.
Another great way to relax usefully is to take a bubble bath with sea salt or essential oils. You can also massage your body with a dry brush with natural bristles to get rid of dead skin cells.
4. Arrange a digital detox
Digital detox involves the temporary abandonment of a smartphone and laptop. This Sunday practice will be especially useful for those who constantly have to check mail and answer phone calls during the working week. By ridding yourself of this on weekends, you will protect your brain from information intoxication and protect yourself from procrastination.
5. Plan your wardrobe for the week
Weekends are a great time to disassemble the closet and start washing and ironing. If you get into the habit of planning images for a week in advance, you can find a few free hours on weekdays.
Wash and iron those clothes that you most often wear to the office, and hang them in the closet so that you don’t have to go back to this routine for a week. We also recommend making online shopping and large purchases on weekends.
6. Spend time with family and friends
We don’t have much time to spend with our loved ones on weekdays. But you can make up for the lack of communication on the weekend. Set aside a couple of Sunday evening hours for a walk with a friend or a family movie viewing. You can also arrange in advance with the other half to have breakfast in a cosy cafe. Remember that communication with loved ones is an important part of our life. After all, they can motivate us and set us up positively.
7. Treat yourself to a delicious dinner
Delicious hearty dishes not only saturate but also lift our spirits. And if during the working week you are often forced to eat microwaved food from a container, allow yourself to enjoy a luxurious Sunday dinner.
However, delicious food can please and relax only if you have a healthy relationship with food.
8. Go to bed no later than on weekdays
The habit of waking up and going to bed on weekends later than on weekdays is very harmful to the body. To stay awake and effective throughout the week, you need to determine your chronotype and understand what sleep time is optimal for you.
By accustoming yourself to waking up at the same time seven days a week, you will reduce the risk of seasonal depression and chronic fatigue.
