Spend some time cooking

You do not have to be a culinary genius to whip up a delicious meal. Instead of reaching for your favourite takeaway menu, why not dodge the fast food and wipe the dust off the cookbook you got for Christmas two years ago?

A fantastic way to boost your serotonin levels is by engaging in something fun, and cooking can be fun for everyone if you know what to make. Either attempt to perfect your favourite dish or create something new.

Cooking in your spare time might be the start of cooking more frequently. Experts suggest that when you cook you become more mindful of what you consume whilst stimulating your brain by engaging in the activity. Cooking is also a fantastic way to socialise with family and friends – but make this time just for you so you don’t have to worry about how good or bad the cooking is.

Take to your phone

Spending some time on your phone can be a fantastic way to unwind from a busy week. Attempting to stay off your phone while working can be hard, and you’ve not truly suffered if you’ve not attempted to lock your phone in your drawer to save you from caving.

With the amazing world of technology, there are so many new things we can do with our mobile devices. We can catch up with friends through instant messages, browse social media, play thousands of fun games and even catch up on the latest news and football matches.

Social media has also been found to help mental health among users. For example, individuals can be influenced to make lifestyle changes, it can help you find answers to your questions, you’re able to connect with almost anyone at any time, and it acts as a form of social support. So, whether you’d like to spend the night alone or find out the latest gossip, consider using your phone for some company.

Create an at-home spa

Your free time is the perfect time to indulge in some relaxation techniques. One of the best ways to do this is by creating an at-home spa which can be done in your bathroom, bedroom or wherever you feel most comfortable. Creating a sanctuary where you can wash away the troubles of the week and enjoy some mindfulness is a fantastic way to chill out.

Why not try prep for a big night in? Pre-purchase some scented candles, bubble bath and a face mask. Create the perfect playlist with all your favourite songs and choose your favourite book. More importantly, allow this time to quieten your mind.

Indulge in your favourite TV show

If you’ve taken enough quiet time to last a lifetime, grab a blanket and some popcorn for a whole night of indulging in your favourite TV show or movie. Netflix is a fantastic platform that has plenty of options to choose from. Laugh along or even shed a few tears – whatever makes you forget your worries.
