Weekends symbolise our escapes from the chaos of the working days. However, the question remains, how often do we spend them properly recharging? While catching up on chores, scrolling through our phones endlessly, and binge-watching shows, we totally forget what real rest is. This Weekend Self-Care Checklist is your guide to slowing down, nourishing your spirit, and starting the new week refreshed and ready. Find more updates and insights on workplace wellbeing and productivity on our Work-Life Balance page.
Do not hurry to meet your to-do list, but wake up naturally. Have your morning coffee or tea, and do it in complete silence. Allow the sunlight to touch your skin, listen to your favourite relaxing music, or do some light stretching. All these little rituals show your brain that it can relax and slow down.
Give yourself at least one hour to be away from all screens. Turning off notifications, stepping away from social media, and giving your mind a rest is what you need. Do any one of these activities during this hour: reading a book, journaling, or just sitting quietly. Your thoughts will get so much clearer, and that will surprise you.
Self-care is mainly about rest. However, it is also about movement. Just walk, dance to your favourite music, or do some yoga. The point is to get pleasure out of the activity, not to burn calories. Keep in mind, joy is also a form of fitness.

Weekends are the perfect time to do the cooking that feeds not only the body but the soul as well. How about cooking something new then? Or maybe eating your favourite comfort food. Eat with full attention and without any form of distraction, stop at every bite to savour it.
Don’t let Sunday go by without taking a short time to reflect. What were your successes this week? What things are you thankful for? Write your thoughts down and then set gentle intentions for the upcoming week. It is a very powerful act of emotional self-care.
Relax with skincare, a warm bath, or tea that soothes. An hour before bedtime, put your devices away, and allow yourself to fall asleep peacefully.
Breaking from work is not all that your weekend represents; it is also a chance to refill your emotional cup. So slow down, be kind to yourself, and let this self-care checklist guide you toward a calmer, happier you.
