Escape day
Celebrate Escape day with these juicy tips... a day as a teacher anyone?!
Do you know just how many bizarre and wacky holiday days are out there?
January 31st is ‘Backward day’, February 4th is ‘Vacuum day’ and (loving this one) February 6th is ‘Wave all your fingers at your neighbours day’. You said what?! We don’t know if someone just made that up but hey, it’s fun, so who cares!
One that we recently heard about and that we reckon everyone should celebrate is ‘Escape day’ on January 30th. It’s all about kicking back and making time for your favourite escape – be that picking up a rucksack and heading travelling, wandering through the wet countryside or sneaking off to bed in the middle of the day with a good book.
Some juicy escape ideas:
- Escape from being a student: Be a teacher for three minutes – pop into the staff room and give your ‘colleagues’ a great big happy hello! See how long it takes them to kick you out.
- Escape yourself: Dress up (or get in the headspace) of someone else for an hour. If you’d like to be more confident, take on your favourite super confident role model’s persona. If you fancy being a joker, start channelling Charlie Chaplin or Des Bishop.
- Escape your mindset: If you love heavy metal, listen to some cheesy pop and have a silly dance. If you’re pro-environment, think anti-environment for a while – picture yourself sucking diesel in a big SUV.
- Escape your saintly self: Try a bit of pride – be arrogant for a few minutes. Or if you really want to go wild, dip into those seven deadly sins (without being nasty to anyone else though!).
- Really escape: Pick a day and bunk off from doing anything. Grab your i-pod and chill out with no worries and no pressures.
Enjoy celebrating!
