Happy NATIONAL LAZY DAY!

Celebrating seems a little counter intuitive.

Why don’t you just sit right there, don’t even lift a finger, and let us tell you some of the benefits of taking a little downtime.

Consider this sleeping cat, it’s regular napping could actually be improving its health. It has been found at Brock University’s sleep research lab in St. Catharines, Ont. that napping can improve alertness, boost your mood and memory! We will take that as a win!

Since you are being lazy, chances are you are going to find a way to do any tasks you must complete, with the most efficiency. Finding a shortcut for a complex task using as little energy as possible, sounds pretty smart, actually!

Sometimes being lazy gives you time to ponder the more important things in life. When you are constantly in ‘go’ mode, you have limited brain space for those deeper or more complex life things. Nothing wrong with a little introspection!

Turns out, being lazy is actually natural! Simon Fraser University researchers say that we are “programmed for laziness” – meaning that our bodies are constantly looking for energy optimization.

So there you have it! Take today and be lazy! It’s good for you!
