National Relaxation Day 2026

    Keep calm and relax your mind
I have had moments when I became high strung and stressed out over various impediments to my day.

When I was teaching college I was often times forced to surrender my entire weekend because the director scheduled something nobody could teach and no one could support because her support staff was as stupid as she was — so she placed it on me.

She thought whatever she could think up was my duty to execute and she had no consideration for my personal life or time off whatsoever.

Today is National Relaxation Day.

It beckons all to:

slow down,
unplug from daily stress, and
practice self-care

Under the auspices of one Sean Moeller from Michigan since 1985.

He says there is a time to put away phones and turn off computers. It is an unofficial holiday so they didn't pass a law to create it. Taking time away from duty sounds like a good idea to me ...

Especially when you work with a bunch of idiots.
