How To Relieve Stress In A Weekend

In today's busy world, stress is a real problem for many people throughout the week. There is so much to do both at work and at home and it's so important for your health to keep stress at bay. Here's how to make the most of your weekend so you can relax and enjoy living and relieve stress as you do.

Why not spend a cosy night indoors with your lover and cook a special dinner? A great idea is to try different cuisines - be as exotic as you dare! This is time for indulging your relationship so leave the stressful stuff like work elsewhere. Make the effort to dress for dinner and have candles and relaxing music in the background to create a nice ambience. I know one couple who've done this at least once a month for more than 30 years and they say it's one of the main reasons for their success. Try it, I have and it is a great way to bust stress and improve your relationship.

Another great way to relieve stress is to read a book. Great if the sun is shining! Fix up a comfy chair or lounger, make a jug of your favorite cool beverage, put some light music on if you wish and immerse yourself in a good read. Reading is such a great way to relax and unwind and a really brilliant way to enjoy a summer's day. And it's even better if you can read your book soaking up the sun on a golden sandy beach with the ocean as a backdrop. Oh, don't forget sunscreen!

Massage is a great stress-buster so why not make an appointment to have a massage from a professional masseur or masseuse? It's such a pleasurable way to relax and unwind and it is also great for your body as well as your mind. Lovers may prefer to massage each other and deepen their bond. Make it a priority to include massage as part of your weekend and you'll reap big rewards for your health.

Listening to music is another great stress-buster and certainly beats watching the garbage dished up on TV these days. Music can inspire, soothe, calm, and excite you and it is one of the greatest pleasures life has to offer in my humble opinion. So why not take in some live music? Whether your tastes lie in classical, opera, jazz, blues or R&B, you'll be able to find somewhere that caters to your taste. Or, you could just schedule some time to sit down and listen to your favorite CD's in the comfort of your home - maybe have a relaxing soak in the tub as you do? It's such a great way to relieve stress, so make it a part of your stress-busting weekend.

Arrange a pamper day. Visit your local gym, workout, have a swim, take a sauna or sit in a steam room, luxuriate in a Jacuzzi (if they have one) and finish with a shower. Trust me, you'll feel like a million dollars afterwards. Alternatively, visit a health spa or a Turkish bath if you're lucky enough to have one nearby. These are all superb stress-busters and they are seriously enjoyable.

Try as many of these stress-busting activities over the next few weekends as you can. You'll relieve stress, you'll relax and feel calmer as well as bringing more enjoyment to your weekends.
