Tip 1: Disconnect

The whole week is so packed with activity that we hardly get any time to disconnect from reality - hence the weekend! Those measly 48 hours sometimes 24 hours is all we got and disconnecting from the usual stuff helps to enjoy it better when we get back to it. This is the time to keep away from those cellphones and laptops and anything that is work or task related, as far as possible if it is adding to the stress. Doing something different over the weekend only preps you better for the week ahead and you feel more connected to all things that define work for you.
2. Reconnect

Completely opposite right... This is the time you must take time to reconnect with things that you usually do not have the time for during the week. It could be connecting with your family and friends by having a get together - nothing is more relaxing than having a chill time with the people you love. It could be reconnecting with nature by going for a long walks, which does not just help your body but also your mind or just by having a seat in a garden or the woods with a book or a cup of chai. Most of all the best way to de-stress by reconnecting is to reconnect with your inner self by some way of meditation or quiet time with your self. This helps in slowing down a fast paced life and also gives you a better perspective of what you expect from yourself.
3. Fun Element

Take time over the weekends introduce that fun element back to your life. Life need not be all serious and task oriented - pop in that DVD of may be a random episode of F.R.I.E.N.D.S and laugh out, call that buddy who can just make you laugh till your stomach hurts, leave your mobile aside and bring out that board game and challenge your spouse, organize a low budget theme party at home, go bowling, go dancing - whatever it takes. This helps you to see the other side of life and feel good and stress free.
4. Let Go

It is important to remind yourself at the end of each week that life is not permanent. There are some things that annoy you, piss you, offend you, hurt you, threaten you and so on - it need not have a piece of your weekend. There could be some instances that happened over the week that is putting you down and adding stress to your life - may be there is no solution at hand - but gradually things usually solve and you feel better - in the mean time you can try and let go by training your mind to think something better and hopeful. Don't stop living altogether because of it - Do Not Stop Living.
