Does it get to the weekend and you just don’t know what to do? Maybe you have a lot of movies to watch and comics to read, but you procrastinate too much and you are not sure which one to choose. Or maybe you just don’t know how you want to spend your time or what hobby to take up. To help you have fun on the weekend, here are some top tips.
Are you a comics fan, or do you prefer to stimulate your brain with games? It is really important when planning a fun weekend for yourself, that you think about what you enjoy doing, as opposed to what you think you should be doing. This can often be hard when you are conditioned to think a certain way and may feel shame or pressure to do things that others in society are doing or label as fun.
Stay true to yourself and think about what you are doing when you feel joy. You might even take some time to think about what you loved doing as a child and perhaps felt like you had to stop. What would you want to do, if there were no limits or money in the equation? Ask your friends and family if they have any ideas, and do some research online into different activities to see if they spark any inspiration for you.
How much time do you have to spend on the weekend? Are there other commitments and responsibilities that you need to think about? If you have a family, you may need time to take your children out for the weekend or may have work to do. Make sure you consider this, so you don’t overestimate how much time you have, plan a fun weekend, and then have to cancel it. That will make it feel much worse. Write out everything that you need to get done, then you will be able to see how much time you have left for some fun.
Having fun doesn’t have to be expensive. You might like to think about the things that you can do for free, and make a list. You may also want to consider your budget and how much disposable income you have to spend on something you enjoy doing. Considering your budget will ensure that you don’t put yourself in financial difficulty, as then you definitely won’t be able to enjoy what you are doing, and it will be a complete waste. If you review your finances and see how much money you have, you can spend it on something that brings you joy. This might be a new Lego set, a new fantasy game, or even some comics. Alternatively, you can use this money to save and buy something more expensive.
Creating a fun weekend might be achieved by adding other people into the mix. Depending on whether you are introverted or extroverted, you might find that inviting a friend over or throwing a party might be something that would make your weekend better and more entertaining. It can be anything from a quiet movie night with a friend, while you can enjoy some nice food. It might be a big party where you dress up as your favorite characters from books and play games. The choice is yours. Spending time with people, especially on the weekend when you want to have some fun, can help support your mental well-being and make your life much better.
When you have a better idea of how to plan a fun weekend, you can get started on thinking about the specific things you want to do. To help you get started, here are some great ideas.
Games are a great way to have fun. You can play solitaire online, you can play multiplayer games on your console, or you can get out a good old board game. Whatever your preference, games are great for your mental health, problem-solving skills, and even social skills.
If you want to spend less time at a screen and more time managing your stress from a busy week, then you may opt to do a puzzle. You can get puzzles on all kinds of topics to suit your preferences. You can also get small easy ones, or larger, more complex ones which you can use as a project over time.
Nothing beats watching your favorite movies, especially in the winter or when the weather is bad. Make a list of all the movies you want to watch, get in some good food, turn out the lights, and cozy up on the sofa.
You should always make time to have fun on the weekend. Follow these top tips and ideas to help you get started.
