Observed yearly on the first day of May, Labor Day is a day to recognize and honour the dedication & contributions of workers, both past and present. While also taking a well-deserved break to cherish moments with loved ones.
Naturally, our plan for that day would be to chill or simply sleep the day away. Yet, idleness often leaves us feeling unfulfilled or unproductive by day’s end, questioning where the time went. So, how about a slightly unconventional Labor Day this year? After 8 hours of rejuvenating sleep, prep yourself to embark on a day filled with restful adventures.
There are countless enjoyable activities to partake in, offering the perfect chance to strengthen bonds with loved ones while enhancing our health. This Labor Day, reach out to your family and friends and go on a leisure adventure together!
- If you’re seeking for relaxation with a side of calm energy, a picnic might just be what you need. Prepare a few homemade healthy dishes to share and relish in the deliciousness while relieving stress. Take this opportunity to bask in the warmth of Mr. Sun, soaking up its free vitamin D and feel good all around! (pssst, remember to apply sunscreen though!)
- For more memorable laughs, consider incorporating fun picnic games such as frisbee, sack races, badminton or a simple scavenger hunt. These would definitely keep everyone moving and engaged. Plus, staying active has been linked to a better quality of sleep, so why not seize this chance to reap those benefits?
- We can also immerse ourselves in nature with a half-day hiking trip, offering a chance to discover the beauty of Malaysia’s natural landscapes. Surprisingly, these hiking trails have various peaks, catering to diverse individuals, ensuring everyone can enjoy a pleasant stroll. Trust us, reaching the peaks brings a profound sense of accomplishment, making it worthwhile.
- If you’re bursting with energy, join a charity walk or run! If you missed registration for an event, don’t fret- BookDoc has got you covered. Explore our virtual challenges in the BookDoc app, where you can track your daily steps. Since they are milestone-type challenges, you can take the stipulated timeframe to step up.
