Take a ten-minute mental health break

April 15, 2008

Feeling burnt out? If you are feeling constantly or easily angered, tired or helpless, you may need to take a mental health break. Burnout can also manifest itself through physical ailments, including weight loss or gain, shortness of breath or frequent headaches or stomachaches.

Why not allow yourself a ten-minute mental health break each day? Enjoy April's gifts:

• Take a walk instead of a coffee break
• Bring the dog outside (he's been cooped up all winter also!)
• Begin some light yard work
• Visit a park; take in some little league baseball

Chores and errands can always wait but our emotional well being depends on a regular schedule of "me" time. Even just 10 minutes a day will go a long way in helping you live a healthier, happier life.
