Mental Health Day October the 10th 2021

Everyone has to deal with varying levels of stress. This can be particularly difficult to manage if you also have symptoms of depression or anxiety. When you feel like your stress levels have reached their peak, it might be time to take a quick break to reset.

A mental health day is a day you take off from work or school, and minimize any commitments or responsibilities. You can use this time to focus on relieving stress, relaxing, having fun, and preventing burnout.

While one day might not solve heavy underlying problems that lead to burnout, a mental health day can provide a much-needed break to pause, regroup, and come back with greater levels of energy and a fresh, less-stressed perspective.



World Mental Health Day

World Mental Health Day was first celebrated in 1992 by an organization called the World Federation for Mental Health.4 Today, the World Health Organization (WHO) supports World Mental Health Day as well.

The day is meant to raise awareness about mental health issues, reduce stigmas surrounding mental illness, and encourage workplaces, institutions, and individuals to prioritize their mental health.

Look for ways to keep stress levels low and so that you don't wake up one morning in dire need of an emergency mental health day.

A mental health day can be useful on occasion, but you should also strive to make your mental health a priority every day.

It's important to take time for yourself to:

  • Clear your mind
  • Have fun and do things you enjoy
  • Improve your sleep quality
  • Process your emotions
  • Promote relaxation
  • Reduce stress
