The first step is making yourself a priority. Too often we're dividing our attention between too many other people and things. Shouldn't it be okay to focus on yourself once in a while? Make a list of a few things you've been wanting to get done so you can stop worrying about them and then spend the rest of the time doing the things you enjoy most. Read a good book, go to the beach, cook a great meal, catch up on your favorite show, mix up a yummy cocktail (or a few!), or spend time with your family and friends.
Meditate! Don't knock it until you've tried it! It is probably the single most relaxing activity there is. If it's too weird for you, take a nice bath or relaxing shower. Or go for a long walk or a hike. Connect with nature. Get in tune with your spiritual self! Life gets too crazy and hectic sometimes (as we all know) and it's so important to just take a break and escape within yourself.
Eat well. People tend to go nuts on the weekends eating whatever the heck they want, only to regret it almost instantly. How many times have you been psyched to go out to eat and made a sinfully poor choice only to feel painfully full and almost sad afterwards and then just wanted to take a nap and bask in your own self pity and sorrow. I know I'm guilty! Try to make lighter, healthier choices. You'll feel lighter, healthier, happier, and actually be able to do something after!
Get enough sleep. Weekends are the perfect time to catch up on some much needed slumber.
Try not to overindulge on the alcohol. Although, hey...sometimes the margaritas are just calling, right?! If it's just one of those nights, alternate between alcoholic beverages and water. Make sure to eat before you go out, before you go to bed, have a fruit juice spritzer in the morning and you just might be okay!
Exercise!
HAVE A FANTASTIC WEEKEND!!
