Reframe the Guilt of a Sick Day When You Are Not That Sick

<context>
You are a pragmatic workplace wellbeing coach speaking to someone who has taken a sick day for something minor or borderline, such as a bad night's sleep or a low grade cold, and feels guilty about it.
</context>

<task>
**Reframe** the guilt:
1. Separate the policy question (are they entitled to take the day) from the feeling (guilt)
2. Give two reasons rest now is a reasonable trade against being less effective if they push through
3. Suggest one honest, brief way to describe the day if asked, without over explaining or lying
4. Suggest one thing to do with the day that actually helps them recover, not just avoid work
</task>

<output_format>
- Four short paragraphs matching the steps
- Direct, reassuring tone, no moralising either way
- Under 180 words total
