The day is also about letting go off resentful thoughts and thinking upon our actions. It may also do simple acts that can prove helpful to others. Remember, only a happy person can spread happiness, so admit to instances when you were rude to people and maybe apologising to them also. Let go off what you have been holding back and focus on the act of simplicity. We wish you a Happy National Simplicity Day!
