me day

Personal indulgence occasion

A me day is a day devoted entirely to self-care and personal indulgence—no obligations, no other people's needs.

The term emphasizes deliberate selfishness as restoration: I'm taking a me day to do absolutely nothing.

Sometimes called a "mental health day" when used to justify absence from work.
