7 fun things to do on a sunday afternoon
How do you normally spend your Sundays? Do you like to find a quiet spot to relax and indulge in some ‘me time’? Or is this time solely dedicated to chilling at home with the family? For me, I like to take some rest on my Sundays especially in the afternoons and do a few tasks allow me stay refreshed and ready for the week ahead. Start your Sunday activities off right and attend a Church or service near you and wherever you choose to attend Church, follow it up with one of the activities below;
See a few ideas to help you get started;
- Get lost in a good book
Spent most of your week over boring work-related documents, emails and other unexciting paperwork? Drop all of those boring reads over the weekend and lose yourself in a gripping novel instead. Reading is not just a pleasurable pastime, studies have shown that it also offers numerous health benefits such as improving brain function and reducing stress levels. This makes it the perfect way to relax on a Sunday afternoon before the start of the new work week.
- Visit family or friends, or invite someone over that might need a friend.
- Host a casual get-together
What better way to spend your Sunday afternoon than by inviting your family and friends over for a low-key lunch. Stick with easy, breezy dishes that are not as tedious to prepare, like salads. Get your friends to come around and catch up on the important stuff you discuss.
- Have a family talent show. Have everyone perform for each other. From dance, to games, it’s a perfect bonding time with family. Family time is precious, so ensure you are making memories.
- Rekindle old memories. Look through old family photos or scrapbooks.
- Prepare meals for the week
There’s nothing worse than coming home after a long day and realising there’s nothing for dinner. So you want to allocate some time on Sunday afternoons to preparing meals for the whole week in advance. Make it a fun family affair by roping in the kids and/or your spouse. You can cook in batches an preserve them so you are not stranded in the course of the work week.
- Phone or video call a friend or family member that is far from you.
It’s often hard to find time during the week to have a lengthy chat with loved ones or friends you don’t get to see very often as they live far away. Sunday is a great day to set up a phone or Skype date, as they may probably have some time to spare during the day, compared to busier days in the week.
And then you can walk into the new week feeling re-energized and ready.
