Relaxation Day 2022

via

August 15, 2022 //  by Antonia Sinibaldi

Happy Relaxation Day 2022! If we’re being honest, I think this is one of those made-up “national holidays” that Facebook promotes, HOWEVER rest and relaxation are such an integral part of our health and wellbeing do why not celebrate it??

Now I know most of us still have our work responsibilities but in the spirit of taking some time for needed R&R/self-care, we can get more creative than defaulting to extra screen time, right?

Screen-less Relaxing Activities

  1. Make a fort. Go big or go home. Building forts was one of my favorite things when I was a kid. Get all the blankets and pillows you can find and build it however you want!
  2. Bake or cook something with others. Kids love feeling included and needed (even if it’s for small little things like measuring out a cup of sugar) or cooking with your honey can feel like date night.
  3. Give yourself a facial or manicure/pedicure. No matter what age or gender you are, this is an amazing way to give yourself some TLC and participate in some active restoration!
  4. Play board games and build puzzles. Make it a race to win the game or a race to finish the puzzle the fastest. It’ll bring out some competitive spirit and keep everyone entertained for awhile.
  5. Take a shower. I know the typical relaxing activity is a bath but a hot bath in this heat sounds…less than ideal. A shower can also be so relaxing and rejuvenating! I personally hang up some eucalyptus in my shower for good smells and take a luke warm splash to bring my body temperature down on these humid days.
  6. Take some time to read. If you are like me, you have to read a LOT and it isn’t always the most enjoyable, which makes it hard to crave reading a book even if you do enjoy it. To celebrate the day of relaxation, try picking up something that is entertaining and enjoyable (your favorite book or even a magazine) to let your body rest while keeping your brain stimulated without a screen.
