Have you ever wanted to do something so random and so out-of-character just because? For example, skip rather than walk, or jump into puddles. Perhaps you found a gift that is perfect for someone you know and don’t really have a reason to give it to him/her. Well, August 27 is the day for that random behavior. It’s Just Because Day.

What are some ways you would celebrate this non-traditional holiday? It’s best to celebrate this day doing something that is uncommon and unexpected of you. Most importantly, you should be able to let loose and have fun. Here are a few ideas to use as inspiration.

Skip, don’t walk.
Is walking becoming a little boring? Try skipping to your destination. Whether you’re going to the fridge to find a snack or you’re heading outside to get your mail, try skipping. It’ll bring your heart rate up and liven up your everyday routine.

Rearrange your furniture.
Get up off of your couch, and rearrange the furniture in your home. It can be something as easy and light as switching out the lampshade to something more complicated like swapping your love seat with the couch.

Give a gift.
Birthdays and major holidays are always good reasons to give gifts to loved ones. However, giving a gift on a random day is sure to brighten up anyone’s day. The gift will show your loved one that you appreciate him/her. It can be something simple like taking that person out to lunch or dinner or buying him/her something that he/she has been wanting.

Jump into a puddle.
Chances are that you probably did this when you were little. Why can’t you do it now as an adult? Apparently it is frowned upon for adults to act this way, but on Just Because Day, we encourage you to do it anyway. Roll up your jeans and jump into a puddle. It’s just water – it will dry.

Pretend you are a robot.
You’ve probably seen people do the robot dance move on the dance floor. This move is an oldie but goodie, but why save it for just the dance floor? Try walking down the street with the mechanical movements adding in your own robot sound effects.

Speak with an accent.
We’ve all tried to do it – speak with an accent. On Just Because Day, watch television and then repeat everything in a specific accent. For starters, try a British accent. If that seems overplayed, try an Italian accent next. For added fun, add in hand gestures and body movements for an added impact.

Buy a stranger coffee.
If you find yourself in your local coffee shop on Just Because Day, offer to pay for the order of the customer behind you. It is a sure way to make their day, and it will make you feel good for making someone else’s day.

Bake a cake.
Head out to the grocery store and buy the ingredients used in your favorite cake recipe. If you don’t have one, buy a boxed mix, and bake a cake. It will make your home smell like a bakery, and you’ll have a treat for yourself. You can decorate the cake however you want. Just make sure you’re having fun.
