Where is World Leisure Day celebrated?
It is celebrated in the US.
This is celebrated by people of all ages.
This day started on April 16, 2021.
World Leisure Organization started the celebration of World Leisure Day.
Leisure provides the experience of enjoying life with no worry, this was a shared experience that everyone wanted to have. With rising work stress, this day was an initiative to improve health and have a better day. Let us understand the origin of leisure.
Leisure time involves activities like spending time on passion projects or hobbies. The earlier idea of leisure was to go to clubs and restaurants, watch movies or theaters, sing and dance on different occasions, and fests with our friends and family. These activities evolved through time in other countries.
The importance of having leisure time in life was studied by intellectuals who found that leisure experience can improve health, professional excellence, and mood. Therefore, the initiative was taken up to start leisure studies and understand how productive activities and learning through leisure can improve management decisions.
The aim is to bring awareness through events about having a better life and improving health.
It is a nonprofit organization formed in 1952 to promote the importance of leisure in life.
The four types are casual leisure, serious leisure, casual reading, and project-based leisure.
The term leisure is to have free time and do something of your choice.
It relieves stress and boosts positive hormones.
