Happy National Relaxation Day! 😊

Do you slow down in order to relax, or do you release stress through activity? Our favorite ways of slow relaxing are with a nature walk, reading a book outdoors, and eating a healthy snack while breathing in fresh air. 🚶‍♀️📚

If being active helps you relax, we recommend hike, kayaking, or even a nice bike ride in nature! 🌳🚲

Even if it is just 5 minutes, take the time to relax today! Which activity are you choosing? ☀🌳
