Get enough sleep so you’ll be well-rested for returning to work. If you are feeling close to being burned out, prioritize self-care. Set boundaries over office emails, texts and video calls during the long weekend. Take some additional paid time off to make it a four- or five-day weekend. The mini-break will recharge you. Try to volunteer at a veterans hospital or homeless shelter. It’s a great way to give back while also gaining a perspective on the lives of others.
Memorial Day honors the commitment of America’s military service members by recognizing those who have lost their lives defending their country. In an act of kindness, you can volunteer to help veterans. It’s also a rewarding feeling. When you help someone out of the goodness of your heart, without anticipating anything in return, you actually receive a great benefit. It’s a joyful feeling to do something positive by making a difference in a stranger’s life.
What You Should Avoid
The Memorial Day holiday is one of the year’s busiest travel weekends. Getting stuck in traffic or being on a beach with your family, surrounded by young people drinking and partying, can make life stressful. Try avoiding crowded beaches and amusement parks. Resist the temptation to drink too much alcohol and spend wildly.
