National Relaxation Day


Watch the clouds and daydream.

August 15th is National Relaxation Day !

National Relaxation Day was first created over twenty years ago to promote leisure and wellness activities.

Relaxation has been defined as refreshment of body and mind and having a whole day to celebrate it is a blessing.  Relaxation can mean many things to different people; but categorizing what is and isn't relaxing is too stressful.  So, RELAX and do whatever it takes to refresh your mind, body and soul. 

Here are a few ideas:

  • Call a long lost friend, just to say hello.
  • Take a leisure walk, enjoy the sights and smells of the outdoors.
  • Have a great and healthy meal.
  • Have a cool refreshing drink
  • Take a nap.
  • Watch the clouds and daydream.
  • Anything that will put your mind, body and soul at ease.

    As the founder of National Relaxation Day, I want everyone to know that it has nothing to do with "Slacker Day". I created National Relaxation Day at the age of 10 well over 20 years ago. It is a great holiday, and I encourage anyone wanting more information to inquire directly at relax15 at yahoo dot com.

    Have a great day!!!
