Work can be very tiring and turn out even more complex than planned. More often than not, we end up getting involved in much more activity than we planned for and get to bed bone tired, only to be up again early for another day. It feels like an endless cycle; monotonous and exhausting. This is why the weekend comes with such thoughts of bliss! A chance to break the cycle and get a ‘fresher breath of good air’. But then again, you’re an entrepreneur- young businesses could need more attention than the usual, and for all the extra stress, you may not be as financially sound to go safari driving or a weekend on a yacht getaway.

Often people let finances prevent them from having fun as they ought to, and I must say, this actually makes sense- spending according to financial strengths. But do we really have to define every bit of fun as cost? If that were the case, then we might as well spend every weekend sleeping the time away (even though some would genuinely opt for this, that’s fine). As a young entrepreneur, you’d want to consider options that aren’t financially crippling, yet allow you to have a good time, enough to rejuvenate yourself for another week of work and also not get you distracted from needed focus.

The company of friends is a powerful tool for relaxing the mind. At times you don’t really need a long trip to a spa or a drive out of town to exotic locations. It could only be that your body longs to be relieved of its tense countenance, and being with friends without having to stress about work is just right for the purpose. Call your friends over or meet up in a common environment and relive past moments over drinks or food. Have a good laugh and allow yourself to be immersed in good company. Trivial as this may sound to some relatively busier folk, these activities do more than just temporary happiness. They afford your brain a break from the chain of activities it has become accustomed to, which cause it to continually burden you with thoughts and uncertainties. You assume a more refreshed countenance- happier and lighter, that puts you in positive spirits and fuels your will to forge on into another week of work. These activities even enhance your work relations, as lighter moods make you better placed to be receptive and welcome to all kinds of people you will be meeting in the course of your work.

But perhaps you may be the solo person- the lone wolf who finds solace in his or her company and loves to relax in a world of your own. That’s really fine so long as it’s what suits your preferences. Make time to satisfy your inner self this way if it means a walk in your neighborhood, movies r games, or even sitting out in your home or other environments to enjoy the sights and sounds of nature buzzing around you. It all boils down to your choices and what you feel best shuts the moment. Prioritize yourself, keep in line with cost, and don’t get overly distracted. Just be sure to be smiling inside out by Monday morning.
