August 15th is an important day at Hera Hub. It’s not only our 10th anniversary it’s also National Relaxation Day! This year the day falls on a Sunday, which is a perfect day to slow down and unwind. It’s a day to focus on taking care of ourselves and take a moment to relax.
The hustle and bustle of the daily grind leaves most of us on the verge of burnout, and there just never seems to be enough time to just kick back and relax. Those with a busy schedule look forward to Relaxation Day, even if it’s just to get some headspace.
Taking time to recuperate and rejuvenate our tired minds and bodies may help prevent many health risks, too. Most doctors will agree that finding ways to relax and finding ways to reduce stress will improve overall health.
