Saturday is the day of the week that everyone looks forward to. Unlike Fridays, which we still spend at school or at work, or Sundays, which are usually for family, Saturday is when we can all truly say that the day is ours to spend.
Saturday is perceived by many to be the better half of the weekend. You’re free to do whatever you want for an entire 24 hours, and you’ll still be able to rest the following day. It’s your first day off after a 60-hour work week.
However, if you don’t feel like spending all your free time binge watching an online series or staying at home, here are some things you may want to consider to spice up your Saturdays:
Fun Ways to Spend Your Saturdays
Take a Hike
Going out for a walk is one way to escape from monotony, but if you’re feeling extra adventurous, why not go hiking? Invite a few friends to go with you on a trip to the great outdoors. Get some fresh air and spend some time away from society.
You’d be surprised to see just how refreshing a hike up a mountain or a forest trail is, especially if you aren’t the type of person who goes out on nature trips.
Exercise
Working out may not exactly be everyone’s idea of “rest and relaxation”, but exercising is one way to feel great. Not only will exercise improve your physical health, but it can also boost your mood and improve mental well-being.
Exercise makes your brain release endorphins, a group of hormones which reduce stress and help fight anxiety and depression. Working out on a weekend is a superb way to keep yourself healthy while still having enough time to rest afterwards.
Learn a New Language
Learning how to speak a new language has never been easier, thanks to the plethora of free resources that are on the internet right now. If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to speak French or Japanese for whatever reason, there’s no better time to start doing it than on a Saturday.
Learning a new language is a great time investment. If you plan on travelling abroad, or if you just want to watch that cool new movie without reading subtitles, this idea is for you!
Stay Indoors
There are plenty of fun activities that you can do without having to leave the house. You can have a go at drawing, painting, or creative writing if you’re feeling productive. If you don’t feel like doing much work, you can grab some snacks and enjoy a movie marathon or play video game.
You’re free to do whatever you want on Saturdays, but what matters most is that you enjoy your time. Here’s a list of inspirational quotes to help you figure out what you want to do the most this Saturday:
