You have my permission to practice mental health!

It’s national “May is Mental Health Month” and what better time to take a mental health day! Plus, you could use the national celebration and month-long recognition of mental health as an excuse to take your deserved, though often neglected, time off! But for those of you who may need permission to practice mental health, I have a free Gift Certificate for you!

While in my studio the other day, I spied a Christmas present I made a few years ago for my work colleagues. And I thought how it’s also a perfect mental health activity especially in honor of the national recognition month.

I am giving everyone who subscribes to my free blog a free downloadable aws Studios Gift Certificate! This certificate entitles each holder “permission to” practice mental health such as doing something they might need permission from someone else to do.

Remember permission slips we needed from our parents to go to an away game on the bus or to a doctor’s appointment during school hours? My Gift Certificate is like that except you don’t need your parents! I am giving you permission to do mentally healthy things for yourself.

So, like taking a mental health day, some people may need this type of “permission” to encourage them to follow through and take a day off. By taking a mental health day, you are practicing good mental health and taking time to focus on your social and emotional well-being.

Of course, the aws Studios Permission Slip is good for anything you may need to give yourself an extra healthy nudge like taking a nap in the middle of the day, or not going through with something you really don’t want to do. There are numerous things we can give ourselves permission to do.

What will you give yourself permission to do? Let me know in the comments. Thanks for spending time at the Studios and don’t forget to get your Gift Certificate!
