Our Journal | Secrets to restore energy after a stressful work week

November, 21th, 2025

Deadlines, KPI pressure, and back-to-back meetings can leave many of us exhausted and in urgent need of a recharge. Renewing your energy is not just a want, it is the key to sustaining work performance and the quality of your life. So how do you escape the cycle of fatigue and gently heal your spirit over the weekend? Here are golden tips to renew your energy, plus a suggested destination to begin your recovery journey.

5 effective tips for recharging over the weekend

To truly recover your body and mind after a week of work stress, you need a balanced mix of gentle movement, mental nourishment, and a restful environment that lets you breathe slowly.

Digital detox and mindfulness

Blue light and constant notifications from electronic devices are major contributors to tension. Try setting aside one to two days over the weekend to rest and greatly reduce phone or computer use.
 

At the same time, bring attention to small present moments. Instead of scrolling social feeds, watch the sky, listen to natural sounds, or simply focus on each breath. This is one of the fastest ways to renew your mental energy.
 

Use the power of nature (Nature immersion)

Many studies show that immersing yourself in nature significantly lowers cortisol, the stress hormone. In other words, nature helps the body slow down, relax, and rebalance from the inside.
 

If you want to use nature’s power to heal the mind and ease pressure from life and work, try activities such as:

  • Forest bathing: Walk slowly beneath cool green canopies, inhale the fresh air, listen to leaves rustling, and feel sunlight through the branches. In that moment, your mind feels cleansed and gently renewed.
  • Water contact: Sit by a lake, stream, or the sea. Listen to trickling water or soft waves. That natural rhythm soothes the brain, relaxes tension, and brings a quick sense of peace.
     

Gentle, restorative activities

Do not assume rest only means staying still. Your body recovers better with light movement because endorphins, the feel-good hormones, are released and lift your mood.
 

When you are tired, try these gentle activities to renew energy quickly:

  • Yoga & stretching: Begin the morning with simple yoga or gentle stretching. Just 10 to 15 minutes can soften the body and steady the mind.
  • Leisure walks or cycling: Choose light movement like walking or cycling around a retreat. The goal is not intense exertion but letting breath, body, and mind move in tune with nature.
  • Pickleball — release energy: This light, sociable sport helps your body move, builds stamina, and creates joyful connection with friends and family. A short match is often enough to bring more laughter and renewed energy.

Restore the body with nutrition

When your body is tired, it needs nourishing food from within. Prioritize fresh, wholesome foods that deliver natural energy.
 

Focus on organic vegetables, seasonal fruit, and light meals. Reduce fast food, refined sugar, and alcohol, which slow the body and prolong fatigue.
 

And do not forget hydration. Drink enough water and sip herbal teas to gently detoxify. Proper nutrition is the foundation for recovery and natural energy renewal.

 

Reconnect with others and with yourself

Under prolonged stress, we tend to withdraw. The weekend is an ideal time to open up, connect, and nurture positive emotions.
 

Spend time with loved ones and friends. Share stories, cook together, or simply sit together in calm space. Those small, full moments warm your heart.
 

Also, read, paint, play music, or do whatever makes you feel authentically you. Genuine connections — with others and with yourself — are among the strongest medicines for healing.
