International Relaxation Day
International Relaxation Day will be held on the 15th August, 2023. A day to relax or choose to learn new relaxation techniques. Or perhaps take some time out in a busy day to relax. Since 1985, National Relaxation Day is held annually on the 15th August in the USA. This was a great idea by a nine year old, Sean Moeller from Michigan. Nowadays, with thanks to social media platforms many people around the world celebrate National Relaxation Day and more recently, International Relaxation Day.
