Hello everyone, how are you doing on this great day? I’m sure you all have beautiful smiles on your faces, and I am also sure you all deserve that smile.
Honestly, it has been a long and tough month. The month had stretched to the extent that it had felt as if it would never end. But, thankfully, we are on the last Sunday of the month of January. And by tomorrow, the last day of the first month will officially set in. Isn’t it wonderful?
Also, it is that time of the month when the long-awaited paychecks begin to come in, making us relax from all the stress that this month alone had brought. And that is why the day we are celebrating today could not come at a better time; it is National Escape Day!
Hehe… the name says it all I guess. It is no rocket science to figure this one out. As we all guessed, this day is specially picked because it is at that time of the month when we smile at the banks, after enduring all the stress and pressures of the entire month, thinking about the different ways we can make ends meet and all that it entails. This is the day we get to escape from all that.
Because as we all know, another month is coming and the cycle continues whether we want it to or not.
Just dedicate this day to yourself, refrain from anything that will disturb or distract you. And treat yourself to something you have been wanting for a long time. It could be the massage treatment you have always wanted or that trip you have always been postponing. Hell, it could even be the visit to a family member that you had been unable to do all these while, or just hanging out with your good friends. It does not matter what it is, what matters the most is that you get to unwind and just relax.
Let all the stress ebb away from your body and mind. Because as the saying goes, a stress-free mind is a healthy mind. You will realize that when you do something like this, you will return to work with a clean slate, feeling refreshed and energized, ready to take on not just the coming work week, but also the coming month.
And when you are in such a state that is when you are most productive simply because that is the moment your brain is most active.
So, before the day runs out, what is that thing you have always wanted to do but could not because of time and funds? Like I said, it does not have to be extravagant. It can be the simplest things that bring us the greatest joys. Like busy parents getting to spend more time with their kids, choosing to spend the entire day with your partner, or going out to play football with your friends. These things do not cost a thing, but they surely have the biggest impact and can make the stress disappear as if they had never been there.
And as always, I wish you a happy day of the National Escape. Do make sure you have some fun.
