During the week we have obligations to tend to, and can often get caught up in the day to day routines. It’s essential to find time to socialize outside of work. Socializing with friends, colleagues and members in your community, provides a healthy way to unwind and also to recharge. By breaking up the week, it helps you to enjoy and look forward to each day instead of just “living for the weekend”
First, think about hobbies which you particularly enjoy and can’t seem to find the time on the weekends to squeeze in. Here are a few ideas to kick up your week and help you to find balance between work and social time:
- -Find a cooking class that you can take with friends and bring dinner home. I’ve also seen cooking classes which you can actually prepare meals for the week. This provides a great way to get out of the house, cook with friends and share recipes
- -Walking Groups and/or partners are also a great way to incorporate exercise into your week! Perhaps you have a neighbor or a friend from work that you can walk with.
- -Wine tastings and/or happy hour can be nice to get together with co-workers or friends that you don’t see too often. Often you can grab a good deal and it doesn’t take too much time out of your evening.
- -Book Club is a great option as well. Some clubs meet weekly and others meet monthly. If you enjoy reading and want to share your thoughts and listen to others, then this might be a good fit for you!
- Playing cards is my last suggestion but by no means is this list complete. There are endless possibilities to enhancing your weekdays!
See if you can try something outside of your typical routine this week.
