Colombians combat stress in daylong relaxation

world laziness day

Are you sick of working hard? Do you feel exhausted? It’s better for you to travel to Colombia and participate in a daylong celebration of relaxation. 
As a quirky effort to urge over-stressed workers to slow down, Colombians hauled mattresses and hammocks into the streets to mark the annual World Laziness Day.

Organizers said festivities include a competition for the best-looking pajamas, a pillow-juggling contest, and a race for the fastest bed on wheels.

The event dates back to 1985, when a Colombian man had the idea that the country should celebrate not just the hustle-bustle of business, but also slowing down and enjoying life.
