How to spend weekends right



Dear Strangers,


In my first blog post, I want to talk to you about how the way we spend our weekends is mostly wrong, in my opinion.




How do you usually spend Saturdays?

I used to spend mine by firstly sleeping more because the week would wear me out. I would spend all Friday evenings watching movies, sleeping and eating. I would usually order myself a pizza or something equally unhealthy and feel bad after eating all of the food.

Even if my friends would invite me out, I would refuse it most of the time, never organize anything myself and just allow myself to fall into the heaviness of life.


But, let's be honest. Everyone's life is difficult. It wasn't just mine. During that period in my life, I was working for two people at least and was very unsatisfied with the small town I used to live in.

Of course I knew it all needed to change. Of course I was unhappy about my laziness. But not just laziness to other parts of my life, but the will to wake up and allow excitement into my life.


When I changed the previous company that I was working for and changed the city that I lived in my life has improved. I will not tell you that it was all me. But, bigger city brought bigger opportunities into my life. It woke up my wish to go outside and enjoy my Saturdays.

You know how they say use your weekends to build the life you want, not run away from your current life. That is so true. The person who said that is absolutely correct.


Now I think and act in a way that shows how important to me Saturdays and Sundays are. I organize myself that time very well. Now, don't read this as I plan myself each minute of my weekend, it's not like that. I just put even more effort than I would with any other day of the week.


I use Saturday to work on my dreams, to take care of myself (running, dentist appointments, working on my company etc..), and once in a while I go to museums, gallery exhibitions and concerts. I use Sundays to firstly go to church service, then, have a little breakfast date in Starbucks, and spend time with people I love.


Saturday and Sunday have become two days that I use to live life how I would want to live, if money didn't matter.


If you would love to see how that all goes, I recommend you watch one of the vlogs about it on my Instagram. I hope it inspires you to wake up. I hope you really enjoy your weekends.



Yours,

Violeta
