National Just Because Day is celebrated on 27 August, so feel free to celebrate any way you choose!
On a daily basis, we all do things that are required from us, but today this does not apply, as you have the opportunity to do something you really want – not have to do – just because.
National Just Because Day was created in the late 1950s by a Californian named Joseph J Goodwin. He originally intended this day to be a family holiday, but it has grown in popularity, becoming an annual celebration across the globe.
Here are some Just Because things for you to do today:
– That outfit you have been admiring at the mall forever? Go out and buy it!
– Use one of your vacation days, and go fishing.
– Pay the bill at the table next to yours at the restaurant.
– While driving alone in your car, roll down the windows and sing along with your favourite song – at the top of your voice.
Celebrate today by doing something different and out of the ordinary. Do something you want to do, and not because you have to do it. After all, that is what National Just Because Day is all about.
