National Relaxation Day

Official permission to slow down, unplug, and prioritize rest. In our hustle culture, sometimes we need a designated day to remember that relaxation is productive, necessary, and healthy.

What Is National Relaxation Day?

National Relaxation Day, observed on August 15th, encourages people to slow down, reduce stress, and engage in activities that promote relaxation and well-being. In a world that glorifies constant productivity, this day gives explicit permission to rest without guilt.

Relaxation looks different for everyone—reading, napping, walking, meditation, hobbies, or simply doing nothing. The day reminds us that rest is not laziness; it's essential for mental health, physical wellbeing, and sustainable productivity. You cannot pour from an empty cup.
