So I was wondering - No matter what type of disability, health condition or other situation that you find yourself in, what is your Weekend Wellbeing Tip?
I find Weekends to be one of the hardest things because unlike Monday - Friday I have meetings, set routines and many things to keep me going. At the weekends I have loneliness and routine issues. So, I want to know, if you are like me, what are your Weekend Wellbeing Tips.
Here are some for me;
1) Spring Cleaning every weekend and using Olio to get rid of things;
2) Now I have a Garden I share with all the building I have started looking at what I can grow;
3) Play with my guinea pigs
4) Cuddle my 5"3 teddybear

Great thread @BritPuddles Time away from your normal routines can definitely be a bit of a trigger for low mood etc.
I like all of your suggestions! On days off, I like to:- do puzzles to keep my mind busy, especially Sudoku!
- aim to get outside at least once per day, even if it's just to pop to the shop or grab a coffee
- try and connect with at least one friend or loved one, be that online or in-person
- do some chores, like cleaning or shopping

Hi @BritPuddles
I am sorry to hear you feel this way. I think it is something we all experience at some stage.My tips are:
1. Make a to do list: I do this for the week so that I know where I am at,
2. Make plans with friends and family.3. Try and make time for your hobbies, although I know this is not always possible when you have had a full-on week.I hope this helps.CSno010 -

It's great that you stay active @BritPuddles What do you use to count your steps? I have a few friends who use Fitbits and Apple watches, and find them helpful for tracking progress.0
