What to do during a mental health day to make the most of your time

If you had the flu, you would probably not hesitate to call sick to work or at school to recover. And if you feel stressed, outdated or exhausted, a day of mental health can be exactly what the doctor ordered.

“Autosoin practices such as taking proactive mental health days can be extremely effective tools to reduce the risk of professional exhaustion, chronic stress and depression,” explains Iman Hypolite, MD, a psychiatrist based in Atlanta which offers remote therapy in several states. “Personal care is not a luxury; it is fundamental.”

Mental health days are ruptures of stress or frustration sources that allow you to focus on the nourished of your emotional well-being.

Ideally, you would be able to take these rest periods if necessary, but if you can only occasionally, you will want to make the most of your time. Remember that it is not only a day off; You can use the time intentionally to do things that will help you reset and recharge, explains Ritu Goel, MD, a psychiatrist based in Beach, California. “Choose significant ways to nourish your mind, body and mind.”
