National Relaxation Day

We live life at a frantic pace, constantly in a hurry and not noticing everything around us. But to be in good shape and enjoy every day, you need rest. On National Relaxation Day, you can relax 100%! The date is dedicated to everyone who needs to recuperate.

History

A simple ten-year-old boy named Sean Moeller came up with the idea for this holiday in 1985. Sean said in an interview with an American newspaper that adults should have a day in which they can do nothing—not even clean the house or make plans for tomorrow.

Adults thought—why not have such a day? Everyone supported the idea. It is great that today it is with such pleasure!
