Saturday is more than just the weekend. It is a mental break we all require as individuals in the society and we must ensure that it happens. Amidst a tiresome working or learning week, Saturday is usually a splendid opportunity for the mind to have a break. It is the day that most can go and stress free, and have leisure time.`8
People tend to forget that even the brain requires time to rest in the same manner that body organs require time to rest and recharge. The pressure and work that people undertake on a daily basis can affect it. Sunday is your day to rest and Sunday can be spent just for yourself. A day in this place simply feels very slow and relaxed, so there is little pressure to move through the agenda or clock. This freedom assists in reducing stress and anxiety. You get to relax and your mind becomes desensitized.
Laughter and creativity are also part of Saturday as well. You might go for cycling, play with friends, watch movies, or take a walk in a park. These activities enhance your moods and assist in the release of such positive brain chemical as dopamine. Activities that you find interesting maintain a healthy mental state and make people happier.
It’s also one of the best days to engage in key exercises. It cannot be denied that exercise will benefit the physical aspect of the body, but it also has a positive impact on mental health, specifically for depression and anxiety. For a walk, a hike or an exercise in the gym, getting the body up and walking helps to lift the mood.
Caring for our mental health specifically on Saturday makes the rest of the working week more manageable. When you enter the new week, you will be strong to handle forces stressing you or events that force you to stress. You’ll also be more efficient and happier than ever before.
Therefore, let Saturday be your mental health day. Sleep it off, take a break, do something which you feel is beautiful to do. Trust me, your mind will be grateful to you for it.
