My View on Weekend Rest
In my opinion, improving the weekend rest experience is mainly divided into two parts, one part is mental rest, and the other part is physical rest.
Indicators of mental rest include but are not limited to being in a happy mood, having a positive inner light, and being full of energy.
The indicators of physical rest include but are not limited to the relaxation and softness of most of the muscles of the body, no muscle soreness or numbness, and the body as a whole is clean and light. The limbs are strong and powerful, the face is rosy and full, and the eyes are bright and clear. The posture is normal, in line with the posture of a normal person, that is, the back is straight and the neck is normally curved.
Ways to Enhance Your Weekend Experience
Based on the indicators of the above two parts, we give the following recommendations:
Mental Rest Methods
Mental rest is mainly to empty the mess in the brain and minimize the load on the brain.
Methods as below:
- Sleep: Do your best to increase sleep time, especially deep sleep. The rest of the brain works best during deep sleep.
To enter deep sleep, the following conditions must be met:
- Do not look at the mobile phone or computer, and go to the electronic screen with light for more than an hour
- emotional calm
- There are no other messy thoughts in the brain, that is, the state of selflessness
- The room temperature is suitable, that is, neither hot nor cold
- There is no peculiar smell in the air in the room, if you buy some less pungent perfume and spray it in the air in the room
- keep the room ventilated
- Meditation: Compared with sleeping, meditation is a way of active self-relaxation. It has a certain effect, but it is not as good as sleeping. Of course, it also varies from person to person
physical rest method
The method of physical rest is mainly to make oneself physically energetic, without any discomfort such as pain and numbness in any part of the body, with a normal body temperature and a dynamic balance of hormone levels.
- Slight exercise: This kind of exercise only requires all parts to be able to move, not the quantity, intensity, or duration, but the key point is that all parts of the body can move. Just like a robot that has just left the factory needs to be debugged to see if all parts can move, our purpose is also the same, that is, to ensure that all parts can move, so as to troubleshoot bad places.
- Sleep: Sleep is mainly for physical rest to reduce muscle movement to reduce lactic acid produced by muscle movement, thereby reducing soreness
- Shower or bath or soak in hot springs: mainly used to clear physical dirt, let the water surround the whole body to promote blood circulation, the water temperature should not be too low or too high, adjust according to your own perception
- Massage: Massage is a more effective way to relax muscles, and the cost is low. You can massage yourself without making it uncomfortable because of the strength.
- Sunbathing: The purpose of sunbathing is to sterilize bacteria and supplement calcium by the way. Let the skin be fully exposed to the sun, and the sun should be exposed to the degree of slight sweating, so that the blood circulation can be driven.
Summarize
On weekends, we should try our best to relax ourselves mentally and physically, take a good rest and restore our energy. We propose some rest methods from both mental and physical aspects, and strive to achieve the goal of restoring energy.
When we follow the above method to make our spirit and body more comfortable and full of energy, then we need to use our energy well at this time, and use our energy on high-value things. High-value things are nothing more than following our own goals and goals. Plan to do some study, social, business activities.
I wish you all a wonderful weekend.
