Feel-good Fri-YAY!

Weekend LOADING… what are YOU looking forward to?

Finish your week the right way and embrace the weekend! Positive vibes ONLY.

WHAT A WINNER!

Take a moment to think about the past week and everything you’ve achieved. Allow yourself to feel pride in your achievements and to acknowledge your own successes. There’s no shame in celebrating yourself, no matter how small the win. It’s a great way to boost your confidence and teaches you self-value.

COMPLETED IT, MATE.

Tie up any loose ends before you get ready to welcome the weekend. That email lingering in your inbox, waiting on a response? Reply to it. Got a project to finish? Get on it! You’ll enjoy your downtime so much more when you don’t have unfinished work niggling at the back of your mind.

MAKE TIME FOR FUN

Plan something enjoyable for your weekend – a day out, a date with a mate, a meal in your favourite restaurant, or a night in with a takeaway in front of the telly. It’s important to have something fun to look forward to.

FRESHEN UP

Planning a lazy weekend with a boxset? Make the effort to have a shower and change into fresh comfies – it honestly makes you feel better.

TURN IT UP!

Kick off your weekend with a blast of your favourite music! It’s a sure-fire way to get the Friday feeling, fast! Check out our top 10 feel-good tunes here to get started.

TREAT YOUR TASTEBUDS

Weekends are made for enjoying your favourite foods and treats! Spend an afternoon baking a cake or preparing something tasty for dinner, or order in from your fave takeaway.

SPECIAL SOMEONES

Meet up with friends or family and spend quality time together. Weekends are the best time to connect with the special people in your life, especially if you’ve had a tough week. A chat with a mate or a hug with a family member can make a massive difference to your mental health.

SPOIL YOURSELF SUNDAY

We all deserve a treat every now and again. Being kind to ourselves isn’t selfish – it’s self-care – and it doesn’t have to cost the earth, either. You can find lots of self-care suggestions here.

LAZY LIE-IN

On a scale of 1-10, how much are you looking forward to a guilt-free lie-in? A relaxed morning in bed could be just what the doctor ordered, especially if you’ve been having trouble sleeping lately.

BEAT THE MONDAY BLUES

Do you dread those miserable Monday feels creeping in on a Sunday evening? Plan something nice for Monday morning – a special brekkie, a lunch date with a friend or a movie at night – to give you something enjoyable to look forward to.
