​6 signs that you are not resting properly

[Guest]

"When you don’t know what to write about, write about yourself" - I sometimes adhere to this position when faced with a creative crisis. And that’s why today I’m writing again about a problem that is also relevant for me. Recently, my life has changed a lot, many responsibilities and things have appeared that were not there before. They fit into my life so tightly that I constantly have to think about how to combine my main job and private practice and a bunch of other things. I used to work, but in the evening I always had time to rest, and the weekends were reserved for sleep and pleasant activities. Now I’m trying to fit everything into 24 hours - work and practice, cooking and cleaning, communicating with my boyfriend, and caring for the dog. On weekends, household chores do not go away, and they are also supplemented by things that I did not have time to do on weekdays. Fatigue is setting in and I’m already thinking about taking a vacation. And today I invite you to figure out what reasons prevent us from having a normal rest.

1. You finish the work.
For many people, a busy work schedule does not allow them to rest even on weekends. Everyone has emergency situations, and it happens that there is no way to put off work.
But rest is necessary, when working on weekends you need to take short breaks to rest, and ideally you need to organize yourself at least one day off a week. And you will immediately feel how this will affect your well-being and mood.

2. You eat a lot of fast food on the weekend.
On the weekend, the last thing you want to think about is restrictions. If on normal days you eat a more or less balanced diet, then on weekends you can indulge in pizza or a burger. The problem is that if you get carried away, there is a risk of getting a "carbohydrate hangover".

This is all due to the fact that the glucose level in the body rises sharply, then insulin is produced, which binds glucose , and its level becomes lower. As a result, we feel hungry and tired.
Allow yourself sometimes unhealthy food, do not go to extremes.

3. You run around all the time or lie down a lot.
Everyone spends their weekends differently. Some people prefer to do a bunch of things and meet a lot of people in 2 days. This takes a lot of energy, and as a result, on Monday you feel like you need another day off to just lie down or catch up on sleep. Therefore, be sure to find time for passive relaxation.

There are also people who spend their weekends watching TV series or movie marathons, but in the end remain dissatisfied because they were killing time on such monotonous activities.
So before the weekend, think about how you would like to spend it so that it brings you benefit and pleasure.

4. You are breaking your routine.
This is also a very popular scenario when you go to bed early in the morning on a weekend or are trying to make up for the lack of sleep over the past week. But all this does not bring any benefit; on the contrary, your sleep pattern is disrupted.
Try to establish a sleep pattern on weekdays so as not to suffer from fatigue; you still won’t be able to get enough sleep.

n5. You spend too much time on social networks.
Firstly, it takes up a lot of energy that you could spend on more interesting and useful things. Secondly, you could sleep more instead of spending half the night looking at profiles on Instagram or your VKontakte feed.
Allow yourself an hour or more for pleasant activities on the Internet, but do not devote all your free time to them.

6. You do household chores all weekend.
Spring cleaning and repairs don’t count, but regular household chores can take many hours. On weekends, naturally, you have more energy for this, but in this situation you get another working day that will not be paid.
Try to unload the weekends by redoing all your work on weekdays, and devote them to relaxation.

I hope my recommendations will be useful for you, I definitely need to stick to them in my life I will try to write more often, but I will definitely find time for clients Therefore, seek advice, I will help you put your life in order
