I’m back at work this morning after taking a much needed mental health day yesterday (https://wheredidmommyssmilego.com/2023/11/01/no-more-excuses/).
I had no real expectations about how my day would play out, I just knew I wanted a day for myself, by myself, to decompress.
Which I did.
But, still I managed to beat myself up for thinking I should’ve been more productive even with selfcare being top of mind throughout the whole time which even included a visit to my therapist at the end of the day.
As I said in my post yesterday, taking one day off from work for a mental health break isn’t going to unburden the significant amount of heaviness in my life right now, I’m still glad I finally did it.
Today I am overwhelmed trying to catch up from being off one day, but I have set up my own little zen garden on my desk, next to me, to help reduce my level of stress and give me a feeling of tranquility, calmness and peace moving forward.
