How to spend the weekend in your 20's.

Weekends are a time for many of us to take a break from our work and focus on the things that make us happy. Our generation has collectively decided we're not going to die for a job who won't do the same for us. We recognize how replaceable we are and we act accordingly. In previous years our parents and grandparents stayed at jobs they were miserable at for years but that is totally not the millennial culture when it comes to work.  We take our PTO and we smile wile doing it off the clock truly means off the clock.For many millennial women, weekends are a time to relax, explore, and have fun.  I live in a big city where there is always something going on so the weekends are a great time for me to try new restaurants see new exhibits and then get home in time do do my Sunday resets. Here are some of the ways that millennial women are spending their weekends off:
Going on Dates:

Whether it’s a romantic dinner with a special someone, or a casual movie night with friends, going on dates is a great way for millennial women to unwind and have a good time. There are so many options for dates these days, from the traditional dinner and a movie to virtual dates and outdoor activities. In this area I could use a lot of work ,  I tend to explore places alone because I truly hate waiting around for others and I love moving oil my own schedule. my energy is very important to me and I'm very cautious of who I share it with. in 2023 I want to open myself up to more dates I think I'm due for a little romance!
Exploring the City:

Many millennial women are taking the opportunity to explore their cities during the weekends. This can mean walking around to different neighborhoods, visiting museums, and trying new restaurants. Exploring the city is a great way to take in the sights and sounds of a new place and also to get some fresh air and exercise. I plan to move soon so exploring different neighborhoods is a great way to explore al of your options and decide which neighborhood would welcome you the best. Chicago is huge and made up of so many neighborhoods that it can be hard to decide , I do believe this is one of the things that have kept me "at home" but when it comes to Chicago you almost cant go wrong.


Seeing Friends and Family:

Weekends are a great time to catch up with friends and family, whether it’s in-person or over video calls. Spending time with loved ones is an important part of self-care and can help to reduce feelings of stress and loneliness. My aunt and uncle own and operate a bakery in Aurora Illinois , we have been blessed to spend alot of time there with family on the weekends celebrating birthdays and just loving one another. most weekends we all gather there order food and just laugh and joke all day, for those days I am truly thankful.
Cleaning the House and Doing Resets:

For many millennial women, weekends are also a time to get things done around the house. This can mean cleaning, reorganizing, and doing any repairs that need to be done. A clean and organized house is a great way to help reduce stress and prepare for the upcoming week. I Love my Sunday resets. Period . I believe the Sunday reset sets the tone for the whole week , getting your laundry done, prepping your meals , scheduling out your social media post, the Sunday resets is there to make your life so much easier .
Work/Life Balance is Important It is important for millennial women to remember to take time for themselves and to set boundaries with work. It is all too easy to become overwhelmed by work and spend too much time on it, leaving little time for self-care. Taking time to rest, relax, and have fun is important for overall wellbeing. Setting boundaries with work and taking time away from it can help to restore balance and prevent burnout. 
Weekends are a great time to take a break and focus on the things that make us happy. For many millennial women, weekends are a time to go on dates, explore the city, and spend time with friends and family. Taking time for self-care and setting boundaries with work are also important for achieving work/life balance.

​So millennial woman, how are you spending your weekend?
