How I Love Spending My Weekends: A Perfect Blend of Relaxation and Creativity
By Kainat Chaudhary
Weekends are my sanctuary, a time to unwind and recharge after a busy week. As a UI/UX and Graphic Designer, my weekdays are often packed with deadlines and creative challenges. My weekends, however, are a perfect blend of relaxation and creativity, allowing me to indulge in activities that bring me joy and inspiration. Here’s a glimpse into how I love spending my weekends.
Morning Rituals
I start my weekends with a slow and peaceful morning. There’s nothing like enjoying a cup of tea while watching the sunrise. This quiet time helps me center myself and set a positive tone for the day. I often take this opportunity to do some light reading or journaling, reflecting on the past week and setting intentions for the days ahead.

Nature Walks and Outdoor Adventures
Spending time in nature is a vital part of my weekend routine. Whether it's a walk in the park, a hike in the mountains, or a visit to the beach, being outdoors rejuvenates my mind and body. The beauty of nature is a constant source of inspiration for my design work, and it helps me maintain a healthy balance between work and relaxation.
