The day was created to change’s people perception of life. It helps to face all the obstacles of your life. With the rise of technology, people’s lives have changed a lot. It consumes all your energy and makes you feel exhausted. Excessive use of social media makes you feel negative instead of connecting with your inner self. It makes you compare your life to others. It increases your desire to live in a materialistic world than in the actual world. It pushes the idea to live extravagant life than an actually simpler life. This is the reason why National Simplicity Day was recognized. To lay more importance on focusing it in your lives than on social media lives. A chance to re-connect with your inner-self and realize what you have than what you want.
