Take a Chillout

After two weeks of talking about exotic vacation locales, I thought it behooved me to suggest a cheaper alternative—the mental health day—or as I like to call it, a random vacation day for no reason. Depending on your personality type, you’ve either taken countless ones in your lifetime or none at all. For the latter folks, life’s short. Seize the day. And you can use the day dreaming about/planning, which country you’d like to visit on your real vacation. There’s a great travel blog that lists the cultural personality types by country. Taken by the Wind.

I’d wager that most Classics (SJ), Organic Structures (NTJ), and Smart Structures (NTJ) are like me and either have never taken one or are nearing their mid-life having taken maybe 1 or 2—not counting trying to fake being sick as a kid. And to demonstrate just how strong my work ethic is, the fact that I decided to make this a mental health day for me means that I consider doing a half PixieTip to be a technical vacation. I don’t think most Smart Freedoms (NTP), Funs (SP) or Organic Freedoms (NFP) would consider today a mental health day if they actually did work! If you’re a Classic, Organic Structure or a Smart Structure, you’re likely to plan for a mental health day either the day before or the week before. Everyone else might decide to do so the day of—work and life permitting. 

Apparently there actually IS a World Mental Health Day, May 28th or something. But, why wait for a specified day because frankly then it’s not really random. So, seriously, what are you waiting for??
