JOLIFICATION WEEKEND

Hi lovers,

The weekend is here already and I was thinking on what to write on and boom, something came to mind. Today, I will be writing on ways to enjoy leisure during weekends or better put, things to do and avoid during your leisure and on weekends.

It is no news that Lagos alone is stressful not to talk of her children: stress and traffic. These two are energy sapping and if not properly managed can lead to various health issues. Thus, it is important to devise a means to recover all lost strength in order to be fully prepared for the coming week.

Now, sit back and enjoy.

Sleeping
First on my list is sleep, sound sleep. I know many people will have predicted this to be the first thing I would mention. Sleep is a natural antistress drug needed to regain lost energy. You do not need to have a basket full of pain relievers; just sleep and watch it do its magic.

Writing
Contrary to people's opinion that writing is stressful, writing can be a form leisure activity. It does not need to be perfect. Like my favourite quote "write as little as you can and as much as you can".

Exercising
When people think exercise, they believe it has to be rigorous, however, that is not true. Those little activities such as stretching, walking, skipping, taking a stroll, swimming, jogging and even dancing counts as an exercise. You do not necessarily need to go to a gym house or carry dumbbells. Left to me, my best exercise is dancing. I may not be a good dancer but at least I can shake my body to burn out some calories.

Taking Pictures
You can never go wrong with a picture! I am aware most people do not like taking pictures but you can give it a try today.

Listening to music
I know this post will be discarded by some people if I do not mention this. Music is an healing balm, it is a mirror to the soul. Carefully select your playlist and you are good to go.  Well, as for me, there are times I do not open my music gallery for a month or so. I am not a die hard fan of music but I sure listen to the whole song on my music gallery when I want to.

THINGS TO AVOID

Try as much as possible to reduce the time you spend on your phone and other gadget's screen. This helps your eyes and brain to relax perfectly well. If possible, reduce the number of owanmbe's you attend during weekend. I know this is quite hard for Lagosians since the weekend is devoted to that and everyone wants to rock and groove but in all honesty, rest should be prioritized over that. Also, limit the number of chores you fix to your weekend so as not to overburden yourself.

Let me stop here. Which of the activity do you enjoy doing and how do you relax on weekend?

I'd be waiting in the comment section. Happy weekend!

Till I take enough pictures, I remain,
Mobola.
