WHY WE LOVE NATIONAL LAZY DAY

1. We’re exhausted

This is a go-go-go world and we’re constantly go-go-going. We need a day to do nothing, and we aim to do it — with as little effort as possible.

• It’s good for us.

Science and medicine all point to the same conclusion: We work too hard for too long. National Lazy Day reminds us to step back, take a deep breath and just be alive and lazy for once.

• We can reconnect.

Observing National Lazy Day means we can reconnect with the things we love — like our families and the great outdoors. Just be sure that — whether you’re with family or outside in nature or both — you don’t actually do anything. Just. Be. Lazy. For once in your life.
