 If I could create a new holiday for everyone, it would be for everyone to have the day off from work, school, or any other obligations they might have during a normal day of the week on the first day of summer. The first day of summer for 2023 falls on Wednesday, June 21, 2023. The weather will have changed from a chilly or warm spring to a hot summer. This will give people the opportunity to relieve their seasonal depression and have a fresh start into the summer of the new year. This will benefit employers because it will let the employees have a day off and reset their mind and come in the next day well rested and ready to work again. This may even help the employees catch up on stuff they have been running late on, but if they have been on top of their stuff, they will enjoy a nice day off in the summer sun. Employees will come back rejuvenated and ready to tackle the next task set in front of them. Vitamin D is very good for the body. It helps with strengthening your immune system, aids in weight loss, helps lower blood pressure, and helps reduce stress and anxiety. There is no better way to get your vitamin D than through the sun. If you were an employer, why wouldn't you want your employees to be less stressed about work? If you are enjoying what you do, then it does not feel like a job. The day off also helps people lower their chance of heart disease. If a company really cared about their employees, they would take their physical, emotional, and psychological health into consideration. On this day, people could go to their local beach or river where they can soak in the vitamin D. People may invite friends and family to wherever they will be and get to enjoy quality time with the people they are close with. This would be a good time for people to come closer together and not worry about work or school. If kids go to school year-round, they deserve more holidays incorporated into their school schedule. This day will help them with mental health like it does the adults in the workforce, but kids minds are not fully developed like adults are. Kids have a harder time with learning new material and retaining it in their brain. Studies show that young people have a better chance to retain information if they have a break. This will let the younger kids have a day off, not just for a day to rest, but also for a day to retain the information they have been learning. In all, this holiday will be a good way for people to unwind and destress from their everyday lives. It will help employers see better work from employees. It helps children to retain knowledge they have learned. Most of all, it helps everyone get a much deserved day off.
