August 15 -National Relaxation Day

 

Happy National Relaxation Day! On August 15, today encourages us to slow down and unwind. It’s a day to focus on taking care of ourselves and take a moment to relax.  

National Relaxation Day is an important day as we all need a break from the fast-paced and often hectic lifestyles we live.  

Taking time to recuperate and rejuvenate our tired minds and bodies may help prevent many health risks as well.  

Like the founder of this day suggested, too much work can make us sick, run-down, tired and that’s just wrong.   

But he was right! It has been proven that stress can be harmful to our health, both mentally and physically.  

Most doctors will agree that finding ways to relax and finding ways to reduce stress will improve overall health. 

• Taking a drive in the country 
• Spa 
• Golfing 
• Photography 
• A movie 
• Window shopping 
• Lunch with friends 
• Drinks with friends 
• Watching sports 
• Swimming 

These are just a few of the many possible relaxation ideas that you may want to use to celebrate this holiday. 

HOW TO OBSERVE

HISTORY 

In 1985, Sean Moeller founded National Relaxation Day in 1985 as a fourth-grader.  

In an interview with Valerie Monson in The Des Moines Register Sean suggested people shouldn’t do anything of real value. Cleaning and real work are not part of relaxation. 

What is your favorite relaxation activity?
