Before you explode like a battery... @NNP_W_Light

Before the pressure and stress gets the best of you, take a mental health break. 

Last week, we had a funny thing happen. We were watching college football when we started smelling an odd smell. It got stronger and stronger until it made my stomach wretch. What was it? A battery in our remote control exploded. We concluded it must've been the last heat wave which caused the explosion. It got me thinking...

Most of us, at one time or another, have leaked acid all over the place due to stress. We snap at our loved ones, friends, co-workers, pets and it causes our stomachs to clench. The various pressures in our lives get the best of us and we're left to wonder what went wrong.

My solution: take a mental health break. 

Last Friday, MR N and I took a mental health day off. We alerted our bosses as well as our clients. We took three naps, ate delicious yet simple food, watched television, read and had a lovely time off. We didn't talk about work at all. We also rested and took it easy on Saturday and Sunday. It was exactly what we needed.

So take my advice and do some self-care before you explode.
