Weekends are a big deal, especially for busy people, and finding time to relax and recalibrate is often difficult.

There's always something to catch up on or events to show up to, or activities marked down in your calendar that demand attention.

No judgment here. I get it. It's called socialization and life.

But I can help you make the most of your weekend using simple stimulating activities.

Here are 6 DIY activities you can try to relax and recalibrate.

— Landscape Therapy:

Connecting with nature helps you relax and release.

To achieve this, find a spot that calls to you, get comfortable, and sit there for as long as you want observing the scenery.

Free your mind and let the rustling of leaves and the soothing caresses of the wind help you relax.

— Take Long Showers:

Uninterrupted, long showers with music in the background are my go-to relaxation therapy.

All it requires is for you to step into your bathroom, let the water call to you, and help you release and relax.

— Rest With Soulful Music In The Background:

For a deep, long, and relaxing sleep or afternoon nap, try playing white noise or soulful music in the background at a moderate pace.

Ensure you're alone or in a quiet place to enjoy the soothing effects of this activity.

— Guided Meditation:

Similar to resting with music in the background, guided meditation is the perfect getaway activity.

Try using apps like calm.com, Perfectly Happy Vision Board & Gratitude Journal or Balance.

The goal of guided meditation is to help to relax and recalibrate while releasing your thoughts and cleansing your mind.

— Stretch To A Song:

You can choose to relax and recalibrate by flexing and stretching your muscles.

I'm not talking about powerlifting. I mean simple touch-your-toe exercises that’ll make you break a sweat with a smile.

The icing on the cake to stretch to your favorite song. Soon enough, you'd be dancing around your room.

— Eat Healthy:

Not much to say here. Eat healthy, savor the taste of your favorite meal, and let its flavor tease your senses.

Eating is relaxing. Plus, you can never feel stressed over good food.

— Final thoughts —

No excuse should prevent you from carving out time for yourself this weekend. Holistic wellness is the key to healthy living.
