3. Be responsible.
Don't take a mental health day when you know you have a lot of work piled up, or when you
know you really should be there. Even on a day when nothing important is happening, arrange
with a friend or coworker to pick up your missed work, and have them fill you in on anything
that happened afterwards. It is crucial that this doesn't happen on the day of your mental health
day, because it makes the whole point of taking the day off moot.
4. Plan your relaxing day.
Sounds kind of like a contradiction, right? Wrong. The goal with a mental health day is to
sleep enough and not leave the house for anything you don't want to do(on the most basic
level) Plan what you intend to do, that way you know what you're expecting. You want to get
that DIY (Do It Yourself) chore done, or clean out the closet? Fine. You want to lay on the
couch all day, watching bad sitcoms and eating ice cream? Fine. You want to wake up, and
spend the entire day completely bored out of your mind? So not fine. Being bored does
nothing for your mental health, it just annoys you and prevents you from getting anything
accomplished, physically or mentally.
5. Plan, plan, plan.
If the goal of your mental health day is to not leave the house all day, then you need to make
sure you have everything you will need to keep yourself occupied, fed, and comfortable. If
you want to go to the manicurist and the spa and the pool, then set up reservations, plan it out,
make sure your car has enough gas, and try to pay in advance. Spending money is hardly ever
relaxing, at least for most people.
`Mental health is often missing from public health
debates even though it's critical to wellbeing`
Your Emotions
Don’t Feel Guilty
Aging can come on you when you’re faced with
unnecessary pressures in life. You can be blamed for some
of the unhappiness that someone else is dealing with and it
wouldn’t be your fault. However, since you’re closest to
them, they have to blame someone.
How you are affected by it, or rather how you allow it to
affect you can make the difference in whether or not you
choose to rise above it. Allowing situations to affect you
that you have no control over does nothing but bring stress
and grief.
We all know that stress is an anti-friend to staying young.
You may have to distance or even break off from that
person in order to get the peace that you need.
