Every year on January 30, National Escape Day encourages individuals to take a break from their routines and spend some time refreshing themselves. The day literally invites you to escape your daily existential concerns and live in the present. Although it is something that people should do every day, they put it off because of more essential matters. National Escape Day encourages living in the present and experiencing life to the fullest.
HISTORY OF NATIONAL ESCAPE DAY
When life becomes a treadmill and you’re running in circles, it’s best to simply step off for a while. This is the central concept of National Escape Day.
Everyone gets overwhelmed by life’s pressures at some point. Bills, performance, tests, expectations, deliverables, deadlines, e.t.c., wear us ragged at times. Even though the demanding nature of modern life is unavoidable, a day of rest would do you lots of good.
National Escape Day is your day, a day in which you are free from credit card payments and deadlines. It is your responsibility to consider yourself the monarch of your own realm.
While some may wish to physically flee the frantic crowd, others are willing to escape just in their minds. Regardless of your taste, it provides a reason to live a day-to-day existence.
Even though there are no definite indicators of the holiday’s origins, it has captured the attention and imagination of U.S. citizens. People have made it a point over the years to go undercover for a day without fear of offending superiors, clients, etc. It allows people to announce to the world that they need a break without sounding lazy or exhausted.
So go ahead! Run, walk, rest, receive a massage, or simply count the waves while sitting by the water! There are no rules other than that you should not obey any! Whether you surf the waves, go to a hill resort, visit a local spa, or simply soak in the tub, today is all about getting off the treadmill to pamper the most important person in your life — you!
