Going out - How to spend quality time on weekends?

After a stressful week at school or work, we often need to relax or enjoy the spare time but are confused on how to spend it. These are the following activities you can enjoy with your family or friends on weekends:

1.     Going to malls

Everybody loves shopping especially for women. We can get closer to each other while shopping together and when we’re tired, we can sit in cafés or eat lunch or dinner together. And for those who do not enjoy shopping, they can watch a movie together. Malls are the perfect place for having a quality time with our loved ones.

2.     Picnic or camping

Camping is an ideal way to enhance family bonding because it eliminates most of our day to day distractions. The best bonding comes around the camp fire. When it’s quiet, everyone sitting around watching the fire without outside distractions, maybe roasting a marshmallow and nothing else to do except talk and speak your mind.

3.     Going for an event, such as an exhibition

We can enjoy and relax at the same time while going to an exhibition because of the quiet atmosphere. While looking at the artist’s works, we can share stories with each other about what happened in the past few days. 

Laughter is the Best Medicine

When people meets each other for the first time, we are still awkward with each other and to break the ice, laughter is the answer. The reason why korean variety shows are such a big hit and the reason why korean singer Psy is able to communicate with people all over the world is because of laughter. When laughter is shared, it binds people together and increases happiness and intimacy. Laughter also triggers healthy physical changes in the body. Humor and laughter strengthen your immune system, boost your energy, diminish pain, and protect you from the damaging effects of stress. Best of all, this priceless medicine is fun, free, and easy to use.

laughter is the best medicine

Many people don’t understand the power of laughter. Laughter makes us feel good and the good feeling that we get when we laugh remains with us even after the laughter subsides. Humor helps you keep a positive, optimistic outlook through difficult situations, disappointments, and loss. It gives us the courage and strength to find new sources of meaning and hope. Even in the most difficult of times, a laugh–or even simply a smile–can go a long way toward making you feel better. The ability to laugh, play, and have fun with others really makes life more enjoyable. Doing something to bring laughter to people in a world as difficult as today is really valuable and meaningful.
