It’s Labor Day in America! Even though school has started in a lot of school districts in America, it’s basically the “unofficial” end of summer. Those school districts that haven’t started school yet will start tomorrow.
If you are not familiar with Labor Day, this is the day in America where you…wait for it…RELAX. That’s right, you don’t labor on Labor day. You relax! And, in America, there are lots of different ways you can relax. For instance, you can…
- Spend time at the Pool
- Have a BBQ with your friends or family
- Watch a movie (maybe even in the backyard or one of the movie theaters)
- Make some crafts
- Garden, if you are into that kind of stuff
- Go for a walk, a hike or a run.
- Complete some to-dos at home (may not be relaxing but it would be helpful)
And, because Labor day is all about relaxing, here are some things you SHOULDN’T be doing….
- Using your computer to work
- Open and respond to work emails
- Checking off to-do items on your work list
- Making work phone calls.
All of those things can wait a day. If you want to really enjoy Labor Day, then you have to relax. Focus on things that will make you healthier and better as a person and push off any work related items you have to the rest of the week. Work will always be there, time with family and friends may not always be there. Take time to relax on Labor Day and enjoy it so you can better and strong as a person throughout the rest of the year.
