National Relaxation Day





Did you know that Aug 15th is National Relaxation Day?  So, how are you going to celebrate.  Take an extra long lunch break?  Bring the dogs on a sunset stroll tonight?  Maybe even relax with a glass of wine and your favorite magazine...you know, Lake and Home Magazine. 





Here are a few ways to relax according to www.thedailymind.com


  • Take a nap
  • Go outside
  • Get some fresh air
  • Get sunlight
  • Look at inspiring photos (like the Lake and Home photo contest winners!)
  • Delete all the emails in your inbox
  • Open up a window and let some fresh air in
  • Head down to the beach and walk in the shallow water
  • Go to the lake and skip rocks on the surface
  • Pack a picnic, get in the car and drive to a new outdoor spot
  • Plan a trip you would love to take in the future
  • Turn on some music and dance around your house
  • Pick up a hobby you have neglected
  • Cut out sugar from your diet, it causes stress (Personally, I'll try the others first, but you might want to give this one a go??)
  • Buy a beanbag chair and fall asleep watching TV
  • Study a topic you have an interest in but doesn't relate to work
  • Do a painting or drawing of your home

Go ahead, indulge in at least one today!  After all, it is a national holiday!
