In fast paced world of today, most people including me are becoming stressful than ever before. Almost a decade earlier, we could have a good rest on weekends and rejuvenate ourselves. Now, it is a mad rush to fulfil social obligations. Parties, family gatherings and meetups give us less room for genuine rest and relaxation. Again, in order to maintain a good social life, we ned to spend time and money, which at times leads to financial stress. Sometimes, we are forced to attend a few social events due to family or peer pressure rather personal choice. There comes a point when we get mentally and physically burnout due to all juggling of commitments. Again, there are housewives who crave to be out in all the weekends whereas their husbands who had been working hard on weekdays, wants to just relax. Worse, there are few who work hard on weekends on part time assignments to get the extra income to fight their debts and meet their immediate needs. While weekends are meant for relaxing, do not feel that’s the case with a vast majority as they dread through one of the above lines and have less time to rejuvenate. Not, sure but perhaps a relaxed weekend sems to be an elusive one for many. Currently there are challenges in balancing duties and obligations and time off. What’s your take – Are your weekends becoming stressful than weekday due to social and financial commitments?
