The weekend is the best time to take it slow, put work on hold, and give yourself some attention. Giving your body and mind the care they require so you can start the new week with more vitality and clarity is what self-care is all about, not indulging.

Don’t rush your day, start it slowly by drinking your favourite tea or coffee, then take a deep breath, and savouring the silence before the world becomes hectic once more. In reality, the mind needs a adequate vacation from the incessant pings and to-do lists, so put work and emails aside.
