Understanding the “Sungdayer” Concept
The primary focus of Sungdayer and where it derives its energy from, is restoration. Restoration in wellbeing that goes beyond a calendar. Sungdayer can mean an entire day or portion of your day that can be as productive or lazy as you need as long as it helps your mental and physical state in some capacity.
While not yet universally accepted, Sungdayer is slowly making across as a modern self-care initiative. Like mindfulness or hygge, deep caring concepts in times of stress and overwhelming workload have become prevalent.
As with everything else, the concept of Sungdayer comes from somewhere. For many people the idea Sungdayer is intended to help is far from new.
Restorative practices have been a part of ancient cultures.
• Rest during days of religious significance: In Judaism, the Sabbath is considered sacred and rest is elevated to something akin to worship. These practices sculpted modern ideals of Sungday.

Sungdayer has never felt more relevant in context of multi-day wellness focused lifestyles paired with balancing work and life.
