Today’s Monday Matters discusses the importance of summertime for mental break and the importance of disengagement from the worries. Will Parker and Jen Schwanke discuss the benefits of giving yourself a mental break from the stress of a leadership job. They talk about how taking a break will make the next school year better, and will allow you to re-connect to yourself and the things that you love. Will and Jen also talk about how taking a break from work is easier said than done. Sometimes you need a few days for your brain to reset and get into vacation mode. If you feel like you can’t stop working, or don’t want to, you don’t have to take the whole summer to stop working, but it’s important to take some time to mentally and emotionally detox. Take a few days in the summer to spend time enjoying time with family and friends, enjoying nature, and remembering what is important. Listen in to hear more about the importance of summer vacation! You can also read this article Will wrote several years ago about the importance of vacation. As always, thanks for doing what matters and enjoy your summer break!
