World Sauntering Day began in 1970 at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island in Michigan, USA. It was started by W.T. Rabe. He encouraged people to take a break on June 19th to relax and enjoy a day of leisure. The main purpose of celebrating this day is to raise awareness about the importance of slowing down and appreciating life.
Taking at least one day off from work can greatly benefit your health and well-being. In our busy daily routines, our body and mind also need rest and relaxation. World Sauntering Day serves as a reminder to slow down, enjoy the simple moments, and appreciate the beauty of nature, our surroundings, and the people around us.
