It 's usually been the case for the past several years that my schedule has been really hectic. It so happens that I end up working almost 11-12 hrs a leaving me barely sometime to breadth or relax myself. These times lead our lives to crazy schedules leaving no time for any of us to possibly ogle at the beauty of life.

The weekend however is my breather..a time I enjoy the most or at least
make a genuine effort to come up with a plan to do so. It's been for ever that
all I do at weekend is go shop..something I absolutely adore...probably go
party somewhere..and do some blogging as
usual. This weekend I came across an article Sunday morning while blogging...
six-weekend-health-mistakes and I must
say that I was shocked seeing it. Everything I probably did was in its bullet
point....OMG ..
Nyways it caught my attention to go through the whole piece.
Sleeping in too late
Staying up until late at night and then sleeping in the next day could leave you feeling more tired and make it harder to get back onto a normal sleep schedule for the entire week. It's called 'social jet lag'. Get more out of your weekend days and avoid sleeping troubles on Sunday night. Organize your schedule so you wake up within an hour of the time you would during the week.

I usually end up doing this Friday and Saturday night.It
so happens that usually I never end up getting free early nytime on
Friday..Frankly the chance of a party at the start of the weekend is out of the
picture. So Saturday happens to be the day when I love being out over the
night. I must admit this does spoil my night schedule over Sunday giving me
sleepy Monday mornings at the office.. : (
Staying Plugged In
Take the time to unplug and recharge to help keep stress levels in check and maximize your weekend relaxation. Go tech-free for one day, afternoon, or even just an hour on the weekend while enjoying an outdoor activity or time with loved ones.

That's one thing I do each weekend..Literally sleep with
my laptop and phone..either doing some office research or probable blogging or
even going on skype with my friends and folks back home...Unplugged weekends
seems like a distant thought for me at least as of now..I guess... :/
Overeating
Don't overdo it when you eat out, enjoy a few drinks or indulge in dessert on the weekend. Your diet will suffer as a result. It's best to try and maintain a balance not going too far away from your weekday eating habits.

Weekend usually ends up giving me a feeling like I'm a
kid left in a ice-cream shop with a million things to try...This is especially
the case when I'm off to my boyfriends place...He's never stopped me from
eating rather overeating post which I get super sick....:( and spend the entire
coming week cribbing about it and trying..and I mean only TRYING to DIET.
Catching Up On Work
Stay away from work on the weekend unless there is a crisis situation. Prioritizing time to for two days relax can actually make you more productive during the week.

Sadly this is one thing I cannot avoid..:(
Running Errands & Doing Chores
Don't power through your to-do list on Saturday and Sunday. Try spending 30 minutes each evening doing laundry, grocery shopping or cleaning during the week. This will free up your weekend for more enjoyable, calming activities.

Practically my Saturday mornings are meant to do just
that. Travelling around 4 hrs a day to reach workplace..11/12 hrs of working
leaves me no time to do any of these through the week..:(
Stressing On Sunday
Don't waste Sunday anticipating the stresses of the coming week. When you start feeling the Sunday blues coming on, get active and spend time with people you love.

This is one habit I just can’t get rid off..:(
All through writing this article I realise the sad
smileys I made through every point..There is not one amongst these should I
say I do right...Feels like I need to get my habits straight and start
fresh........
Seems like a huge WAKE UP CALL for us all....Turning to healthy
habits is turning to a better quality of LIFE....what say ppl....
