In the middle of the pandemic, we started a new practice in the nonprofit school that I run. Every third Wednesday of the month is Wellness Wednesday at Mano Amiga. Classes and work are called off for the day so that everyone could use that time to nurture their mental well-being. And even if some of us still choose to work, sending emails to our colleagues is discouraged as respect for those who are on a break. One of the most important insights I got was from feedback shared by a teacher. She said that it felt incredibly freeing to be mandated not to work.
