The day aims to encourage workplaces to set aside time to take a collective breath of fresh air and focus on our health and wellbeing. As our lives become more and more demanding, it’s essential to promote coping mechanisms like exercise, laughter, breathing techniques, and relaxing activities like massage, yoga, or meditation.
