Rest

On thursday I requested my boss if i could go out and take rest since I work live-in. I was feeling so stressed and tired. Sometimes the kids drive me absolutely nuts and when I'm stressed, I get angry so easily. It's like my patience runs out and I need a break. So, when I asked, she said she had a guest on Friday. I told her I will wait and leave on Saturday. She never had a guest coming. She just wanted me to stay yet I was exhausted. On Saturday, I told her I was going to see my friends and take rest. She got upset, but I left anyway. I needed a break to be able to function well with kids. I now feel energised and refreshed.

Learn to respond to your body and take a rest. Your mental health matters.

Your life matters.

Your health matters.

As someone who works from Monday to Monday, I always rest for a break for two days once a month. My boss doesn't like it, but I know I need it and deserve.
