So about this time I would normally be into my 2nd hour of work but today I'm lounging about in my BYU Snuggie watching endless hours of Netflix.
I put in a vacation day at work, hoping to get some things done and go back home and see my folks.
Then came the flurries...
The snow falling outside has really put a damper on my plans for a vacation day but as I'm popping another bag of popcorn and enjoying myself for the first time in a while, I can't really argue a better way to spend an afternoon.
Somedays we just get caught up in life. We are constantly striving towards that next pay check or that next quiz, slaving away at work or school, feeling like every part of our being is constantly in motion and if we stop, even for a moment, the balance of the universe will be disrupted.
Breathe for a moment.
Maybe you need to look back on your Brainflix and playback some positive memories.
Or maybe you just need to ask yourself permission -- just for one day -- to not be the responsible person and enjoy yourself.
Tomorrow the roads will be clearer and I can safely navigate my way back home and finish everything i intended. And come Monday I will resume my usual work schedule of 3pm to 11pm.
But today, for just today, I will take a mental health break. And love every second of it.
I think more people need to have this attitude of positive thinking. I know I need more mental health days. It's tricky when you're in charge of more than just yourself, but taking a few moments to read someone's blog helps :)
