De-Stress your Weekends with Fall Events this October
With a Friday afternoon sigh of relief that the workweek is almost over, it’s time to put away your computer, switch off your notifications, and relax into the tranquility of the weekend. Even if your agenda is crazy, it’s important to utilize the time that we get away from our desks to focus on activities that will allow us to enjoy some downtime to unwind, reflect, and re-energize for the upcoming week.
The (even though short) amount of time that we get over the weekend is vital to be used for leisurely activities to replenish our attention and motivation, revive our mind and body after all the thinking and doing it does through the workweek.
Luckily, New York is a city where there’s always something new and exciting to experience and see! And with the change of season, there are even more new and accessible ways to spend your free time this Fall.
For this reason, and to motivate you to get out there and relax into the weekend, here are some worthy events and activities you might want to check out. I know I will!
Sometimes the hustle and bustle of the city can get to be too much, try slowing the pace down and take a weekend trip upstate by taking a scenic drive up along the Hudson Valley - breathe in the fresh crisp air and let the beauty and tranquility of fall make this activity all the much more mind-clearing and reinvigorating.
Ok, so this might be a winter activity but the rink is up! Take some time out of your day or night and skate across the rink and let any of your week’s thoughts slip away.
You can’t ignore the fact that it’s almost Spa Week in New York! Even just saying it makes me feel instantly relaxed! If you are looking to really unwind, take advantage of this event by zoning out while getting a relaxing facial or deep massage and letting your body unwind to refresh, refocus and reset.
If you’re a coffee-lover, then this is your lucky weekend because the New York Coffee Festival is back! Take your time wandering through the vibrant coffee scene, smell the coffee-scented air and taste test your way through different coffee brews, enjoy with friends as a way to unwind and relax.
Halloween is near and the Great Jack O Lantern Blaze is on! Make sure to make a stop, take in the bright lights of the incredibly carved pumpkins and take a walk through the festival, get into the holiday spirit and let the creativity inspire you.
Looking for a more inspiring, positively uplifting, and meditative approach to unwinding and relaxing? October events at Primary are a great way to connect with yourself and with others, dedicated to inspiring a better work-life balance, from networking events and growing your business to self-realization and discovery all while developing ways of taking care of your mind and body.
To keep your mind and body in balance, take the time out this weekend to relax and unwind by doing something that’s mindful to you.
