GK and current affairs

History of World Sauntering Day

In 1979,  W.T. Rabe, a publicist, proposed the idea to encourage people to slow down and appreciate the world around them. Jogging was an activity that was gaining popularity during that time. It initially began as an unofficial fun holiday. While working at the Grand Hotel, situated in Mackinac Island, Michigan, Rabe endorsed the idea of sauntering to counter the increasing popularity of brisk walking and jogging. The event is believed to have started at Grand Hotel as it has the longest porch in the world. Mr. Rabe believed that jogging takes away all the joy of movement. He saw sauntering as an art of free movement from one place to another. Gradually, people started following Mr. Rabe and the tradition of celebrating sauntering day spread to different parts of the world.

How to Observe World Sauntering Day?

One doesn’t have to do much to celebrate this day. Go for a stroll, enjoy and appreciate the beauty of the nature or go to the beach to enjoy the waves and catch the beautiful sight of sunrise or sunset. Get off the bus, train, or subway a stop or two early and take a leisurely stroll the rest of the way to your destination. You can go to your local coffee store and chill out with a hot cup in hand, watching the world go by. The only purpose is to calm your mind relax. The famous writer Henry David Thoreau stressed that sauntering should be done with an intention of ‘presence’ and not with the aim of productivity.
