Chilling out is important. After a full week of work, it’s good to relax. For me, it’s hard to do. In the back of my mind, I think I am just being lazy and I think there is something that needs to be done. I also have this anxiety that someone is going to call and beg for my help.
As I have said I have to work at setting boundaries and saying no. It is important to reclaim my time for myself instead of giving myself away. Sure, it’s nice to be needed but I don’t want to be needed so much at this stage in my life.
So as I write this, I am having some fun and enjoying the time to do stuff I want to do. Perhaps I should matter more to me.

Making time for myself used to always be a bit hard. But I was fairly successful, albeit I still felt guilty for the time I carved out. Best of luck keeping those hours for yourself.
I retired at the end of May. I would say that the best part of it has been simply being ‘at peace’. I don’t feel guilty when I take time for myself now because that’s sort of the point (to me at least) of retirement. I’m not fussing over what I accomplish or don’t each day. My ‘To do’ list is a lazy thing now.

Even in today’s modern world, there is still a vocal minority that propagate the myth that any form of relaxation is inherently wrong, lazy and possibly dangerous. I eschew such a philosophy. The need to decompress and rest is a proven medical fact and good for both body and soul. So disconnect the phone and chill. Good luck 😉
