Weekend Projects That Fill Your Soul

There’s something magical about weekends—not just because of the break from routine, but because they offer precious space to slow down, reconnect, and nourish your spirit. If you’ve been feeling a little worn out, creatively dry, or emotionally foggy, this one’s for you.

You don’t need to travel far, spend a lot, or even be especially “crafty.” All you need is the intention to find joy in the little things—and a bit of time to yourself. Here are some gentle weekend projects that can help you feel more grounded, inspired, and full of goodness again.

🌸 1. Start a Soulful Journal

Journaling is like a conversation with your inner self. No pressure, no rules—just you and your thoughts. Whether it’s morning pages, gratitude lists, or dreamy doodles, journaling helps you process life in real-time.

Try this:

• Make a list of “10 little things that brought me joy this week”

• Write a letter to your future self

• Create a “goodness log” where you record kind moments, yours or others’

Luverly Tip: Pair your journaling ritual with a cup of tea and soft music for maximum soul-soothing.

🌱 2. Tend to a Tiny Garden (Even If It’s Just One Plant)

There’s quiet magic in watching something grow—especially when you’re the one caring for it. Whether you're nurturing a leafy pothos or repotting your herbs, plant care is an act of self-care.

Try this:

• Propagate a plant from cuttings

• Make your own minimalist terrarium

• Create custom name tags for your plant babies

Every leaf you touch becomes a tiny act of love.

📷 3. Take Yourself on a Photo Walk

You don’t need a fancy camera—just your phone and your sense of wonder. Go outside (or stay indoors!) and look for beauty in the overlooked.

Capture:

• Light and shadow play

• Cracks in the pavement with flowers growing through

• The way your coffee looks in the morning sun

Photo walks help train your brain to notice, to slow down, and to fall in love with life again—one frame at a time.

🎨 4. Try a Simple DIY or Craft

Creativity isn’t about being “good” at something. It’s about play. When you make something with your hands, you’re reconnecting to your inner child, your joy, your essence.

Ideas to try:

• Handmade bookmarks with pressed flowers

• Easy watercolor affirmations to hang on your wall

• Upcycled jars turned into kindness note holders

You don’t need to make it perfect. You just need to make it.

☁️ 5. Make a “Goodness Basket”

Fill a basket or small box with reminders of what uplifts you:

• Notes from loved ones

• A tiny bottle of lavender oil

• A printed quote that speaks to your heart

• A photo that makes you smile

• Something from our Goodness Collection (😉 more on that below!)

Then, whenever life feels heavy, open your basket and remember who you are.

✨ The Soul Needs Nourishment, Too

These weekend projects aren’t just hobbies. They’re mini rituals of care. In a world that’s constantly asking us to do more, these moments are your quiet rebellion—an invitation to be more instead.

Whether you're journaling by candlelight or photographing the soft pink of a sunset, you're reconnecting with something sacred: your joy.
