National Relaxation Day

About National Relaxation Day

Now this is the kind of national holiday that we can all get behind – National Relaxation Day! No matter how you do it, make sure to take a step back and unwind from your hectic schedule.

We all feel stressed from time to time, and that is normal, but too much of it can have negative effects on your health. Even if you can’t find the time to relax all day, try to take a short nap, buy a new book to read for pleasure, or make an appointment to get a massage or similar pampering on another day. Whatever you decide to do, make sure you give yourself some well-deserved downtime!
