31 Habits of a JoyFULL Wife, Habit Number 19 - Take a Mental Health Day

Once in a while, we superwomen need to simply let the world save itself so that we can recharge and replenish. Not an easy task since everyone in our immediate sphere seems to think we do actually have super powers. We sometimes dangerously believe the myth as well. I'm going to make this post short and sweet because it doesn't need a lot of explanation.

Take a day every now and then to indulge yourself in something that makes you just plain feel good all over. Schedule the day off work or if you can get away with it, call in to say you won't be in.  Yes, you could do this on the weekend, but it kind of lets the air out of the balloon when everybody else is crowding the space you're trying to lose yourself in.

This would be me on my mental health day, but my audio book is missing from the picture.

Write down a list of things you'd like to do that are different from what you would do on a normal day off. This list absolutely, positively cannot include doing something for anyone who isn't living inside your skin. Then, when the time comes, do it!
