Give Your Brains A Break This Mother’s Day

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mom’s out there!
I know it’s Sunday, and I’m only supposed to write a Brain Break post, but…it’s also Mother’s Day, and the article I’m getting ready to share with you may actually help the mothers out there give their brains a break.

Brain Break: At Last, Mr. Hicks. We Meet Again.

I think I’ve found a Brain Break topic that has absolutely nothing at all to do with mental health - finally!
What is it?
2006 American Idol winner Taylor Hicks and his awesome performance of the National Anthem at the Talladega Superspeedway earlier today.
Forget the fact that Dale, Jr. is currently owning the track right now (well, […]

Brain Break: Smile For The Camera!

Ah, dear Brain Break. You let our brains take a break from all things brain- and mental health-related, which is good because it’s not healthy to focus on one thing all the time; yet, contradictory, because we’re still doing something good for our brains and mental health…

Brain Break: Oh Hai, Lolcats!

This week’s Brain Break is a serious attempt at redeeming myself after last week’s nonsensical ramblings.
And, aside from refraining from linking to that post (and, um…just deleting it altogether), what better way to take your minds off it than by sharing some hilarious Lolcats?
Answer: There is no better way. Lolcats RULE.
Every few days (or, every […]

Brain Break: What To Talk About?

So, today is the second edition of Brain Break here at Mental Health Notes (last Sunday doesn’t really count, as I was wishing you all a Happy Easter, and that’s something I tend to do on holidays anyway - see?), and I’ve gone through several kinds of misery trying to think of something to blog […]

Because Sometimes We Need A Break From Our Brains

Or, perhaps, our brains need a break. However you want to see it.
I’ve decided that, from now on, Mental Health Notes will take a break from all things mental health-related on Sundays. Yeah, I know - Mental Health Notes is a mental health blog. I’m a rebel, what can I say.
Constantly talking - and reading […]
