Being nonstop all the time takes a toll on our body, but also on our minds. We NEED to just decompress. Even if it means working from home, it's somehow so much more relaxing. Hope you're feeling a bit more like yourself again!

I don't really take mental heath days, but I DEFINITELY use my vacation hours, so I guess that is my mental health break! Have fun with Amber!

Most of the time they are days off in lieu of the overtime I've worked but I have 4 vacation days left this year that I'm planning on using throughout the summer to take random Friday's off just to recharge! I think that's SO important and a big part of work-life balance. <br /><br />I hope you have a really fun weekend even though it will be such a busy one!

I realized when I went to San Diego that I had worked every single day (admittedly usually only for 3-6 hours on Saturdays and Sundays but still...) since the first week of January.

I do take maybe 1 mental health day every year or two... it's usually more like a sick/mental health day, as in I'm not feeling the best and I'm insanely overwhelmed and will definitely get sick if I don't slow down for a second. Mine also tend to involve social obligations, as in if I know I have nothing to do that weekend I won't take one but if I have a big weekend coming up I'm more likely to try to rest mid week. Sometimes it is just necessary!Kelly (She Wears a Red Sox Cap)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04415604174106394910noreply@blogger.com
