We all need a mental health day here and there — even if we don’t have any medically-diagnosed issues with our mental health. The old-school, tough-it-out side of me calls B.S. on this, but the modern mom side of me (working/mom-ing/thinking/cleaning/planning/doing) says hell yes. Am I turning soft? I think I’m evolving, that’s all. So we talked about it on one of my weekly CBS Los Angeles ‘FAB Mom’ segments…
The day after I did this segment and thousands (millions? I don’t know) watched me talk this big talk on-air, I decided to take my own advice, walk my own big walk and just do IT.
“The key to recharging is to do something that truly brings you joy…” I said on-air. Fine.
So the next day I hauled my kids to the beach to meet friends — despite that I had several to-do’s (for work) on my list that day. I questioned my choice until the second I got there. Then I sat in the sand, snapped pictures of our daughters, caught up on good times and relaxed…
The next day, I went to work again and all was fine. (Fabulous, even.) I felt better, I worked better, I learned my lesson. See? The world kept spinning and nothing really made a difference. Not that I’m a believer in blowing things off… but sometimes we’ve got to blow things off to bounce back properly.
