Relaxation Day

Date When Celebrated : August 15 th

Relaxation Day is a day to kick back and do nothing. Ahhhh! What a great day.

The stresses, the hustle and bustle seemingly consumes us, every day of the year. Even Sundays are no longer days of rest and relaxation. There never seems to be a day to just kick back and relax.  For those us with a hectic lifestyle, Relaxation Day is a day to look forward to. It provides a break from the madness of your busy work and personal schedule. Todays is the day to enjoy either doing absolutely nothing, or partaking in your favorite relaxation activity.

Avoiding stressful activities today is the rule. For example, if golf is your favorite hobby, yet it can cause you stress, then make plans to play golf another day. Spending the day in a hammock is a far more appropriate activity.

Top  Ten ideas to enjoy on Relaxation Day:

• Do nothing today
• Go to a Spa
• Go fishing
• Play a round of golf(caution: not always relaxing)
• Lounge around in a hammock
• Take a bubble bath
• Spend the day at the beach
• Go to the  movies
• Do a little gardening (no heavy duty work, though)
• Have a picnic in the park

Our research did not find the creator, or the origin of this day. By far, the most common references to this day on the Internet are from spas. It appear that health spas have adopted Relaxation Day for themselves.
