  • An estimated 17.3 million American adults suffer from a major depressive disorder. Depression creates all kinds of problems for our physical health, as well as our state of mind. Fatigue, a weakened immune system, weight loss, heart disease and a lower tolerance for pain are just some of the serious physical ailments caused by depression.
  • Stress is another serious mental health problem that takes its toll on our bodies. High stress levels create serious risks of diabetes, heart disease, hair loss, weight gain and a weakened immune system.
  • Anxiety disorders also affect around 40 million American adults. They can also create a lot of serious health risks.

There are a lot of serious health problems caused by mental health issues. You need to appreciate the reasons these problems occur.

One of the overlooked reasons people suffer from mental health problems is that they don’t get adequate rest during the weekend. You may notice a huge improvement in your mood if you just do more to improve relaxation during your weekend off.

Take Steps to Rest More During the Weekend to Improve Your Physical and Mental Health

Sometimes time off isn’t enough to help you relax, and you need something extra to help you recharge your emotional batteries before Monday comes around again. This can be very beneficial for your physical and mental health. You can read our previous article on the importance of taking time off.

This guide will go over some nice ideas to help you chill out over the weekend. And don’t worry, while some of the ideas here cost money, none of these need to be expensive. And there are even a few relaxation ideas you can enjoy for free on this list.

1 – Book a massage

If you have never gotten a great massage performed by a professional before, there is a good chance you underestimate just how good it can be. Massages help alleviate pain and tension around your body, and they can leave you feeling much more relaxed after the fact. And the effects are usually greater the longer it has been since you last got a massage. Meaning that if you never had one, booking one for a Friday night or a Saturday morning is a great way to ensure you’ll be in a good mood throughout the weekend.

Just make sure you do your research before picking a massage parlor, as getting a masseur who doesn’t know what they are doing is liable to cause more harm than good. And if you are getting a massage in a spa, make sure to check what other relaxation treatments they offer.

2 – Try new foods

Take the weekend to explore new foods and new flavors. Whether you’re going to cook for yourself, go to a new restaurant, or order snacks online, there is a ton of stuff to try and explore. And culinary exploration is a fun way to keep you busy, especially since you may discover snacks you’ll want to make part of your routine. Try experimenting with some new trends as well. Delta 8 THC edibles, for example, are both popular and easy to find online.

3 – Take a nostalgia trip

Don’t underestimate the therapeutic properties of a good dose of nostalgia. And while different people are nostalgic for different things, most people can get a nice dose of nostalgia by going back to books, movies, TV shows, games, and cartoons they used to enjoy in their youth.

If a nostalgia trip sounds fun, you should prepare by collecting stuff to enjoy throughout the week so that everything will be ready by the weekend. You can find a lot of classics available for streaming online, or you can go one step above and buy used DVDs and VHS tapes with some of your favorite classics.

If you don’t remember what you used to watch, try browsing old tv guides and lists of popular shows from various years. It’ll jog your memory.

4 – Go to a hotel

You don’t need to leave town to earn the right to enjoy a hotel stay. Instead, try booking a room with a nice view over the weekend. It’ll give you a change of pace, access to all the comforts of hotel life, and it’ll allow you to go the whole weekend without worrying about any chores. If it’s the off-season in your region, you can find great rates on hotel rooms too.

Get Enough Rest on the Weekend to Improve Your Mental and Physical Health

You need to make it a priority to get plenty of rest on the weekend. This is very important for your health. The guidelines in this post should help you get the rest that you need.
