? Friendly reminder ? It is okay to take a break! In fact, it should be encouraged to take breaks in support of your mental health. Breaks are underrated, but we want to change that. Enjoy your cup of coffee or tea. Make time to eat lunch every day. Go to the bathroom when you need to go (yes, you). Take a nice vacation and completely disconnect. Go for that afternoon walk. Give your brain a break. Your mental health will thank you. ?? #TakeCareOfYourself #mentalhealthawareness #breaktimeatwork
