Your Perfect Checklist for a Relaxing Weekend Getaway

by | Apr 15, 2021 | Travel

Weekdays are generally allotted for fulfilling duties and accomplishing tasks. This is why many of us strive to make our days productive and meaningful. Yet even if you only have the best intentions, your desire to do more from Monday to Friday can leave you drained and exhausted.

Fortunately, we have weekends to help get us back on track. If you really want to feel fully recharged, a quick getaway over the weekend may just be the perfect fix you need. It can also serve as your little reward for getting through the week. Here are simple tips to help you make the most out of your two-day break:

Choose From Locations Near You

Choosing far-flung locations might not be the best option. Why? Because you would not want to waste most of your time traveling on the road! It is ideal if you pick among destinations within your locality or in nearby communities. You should also know the best transportation option you can use to reach your vacation spot. As we are still in the middle of a pandemic, it pays to be mindful of new policies and follow health protocols.

Schedule Your Days

Maximize the limited time on this vacation by carefully planning your schedule. You may choose to travel to your destination on a Friday afternoon so you can spend the whole Saturday engaging in all the activities you planned for your holiday. While you can continue exploring the next day, you can also spend your whole Sunday in relaxation mode. If it is possible, you can choose to file a work leave on Monday after your weekend getaway as it can make easier for you to go back to the weekday grind

Prepare What You Need

Think about all the essentials you may need for your getaway and prepare them beforehand. It is still not advisable to simply roam around, so you want to avoid rushing into stores just to buy things you had forgotten to pack. For your meals, you can opt to bring food and drinks. You may also request food delivery service or arrange a dine-in option in a restaurant. 

Your weekdays can already be so hectic so it is almost a sin to still exhaust yourself during your free days. So how about dedicating your weekend to self-care and enjoyment? Choosing to do the things you love on a Saturday or Sunday may just be the key to making your whole week wonderful.

Taming Your Inner Critic

We all have an inner critic. Maybe for you, it’s that voice inside that’s constantly telling you you’re not good enough. Or maybe it’s the one telling you that you need to be stronger or smarter. This voice judges you for the little things and magnifies your...
