Take An Effective Mental Health Day

1. Disconnect Without Guilt

• Turn off work notifications, emails, and business calls.

• Set an auto responder or let your team/clients know in advance.

• Why it matters: Your brain needs true downtime to reset stepping away fully is not laziness, it's smart leadership.

2. Do What Recharges You (Not Just Escapes)

• Choose activities that nourish, not just distract like a nature walk, creative hobby, time with loved ones, or even therapy.

• Avoid over-consuming content (TV, social media) that leaves you more drained.

• Why it matters: Recharging helps you return with clarity and resilience, rather than just “killing time.”
