World Slow Day is marked every year on February 26, according to Calend.ru. 

Italians were the first to observe this day, in 2007, and with the objective of enjoying life and its every moment in an unhurried manner.

The Italian association The Art of Living Slowly is the brainchild of this initiative.

The slogan of this day is, “Don’t rush and enjoy the moment.”

In addition, this association has come up with 14 commandments for taking it slowly, and which need to be followed so as to sense the positive sides of life and make life more comfortable.
