Somehow someone feeling encouraged to relax is kind of an oxymoron, no?

It’s weird to have a day based on “relaxing”. Encouraged relaxation reminds of when someone says “be funny” or “say something smart” instead of accepting spontaneity. But...lest we challenge top down cultural norms.

After reading and watching all of your post you're one of the busiest people I've ever met in my life you're also pretty damn amazing and I salute you for your courage and your perseverance and your amazing spirit

My entire life I have been programed that if I'm not working I am bad. I have severe anxiety if I take a day off. Even when I am on my day off that I'm allowed to have I sit on my couch filled with anxiety that I'm not doing stuff I should be doing.

When I go on actual vacations all I can think about is how much money I could be earning if I were working or how many things I should get done I even stress about unpacking when I get home while STILL on the vacation

Well who's fault is that? Some get to relax all the time others work their asses off. Why does it always look like those who work their asses off do all the work. Strange thing is that we get yelled at if we are not working all the time.

Yeeesssssss! So true!

My whole life is the search for the time I can relax!

So,howdoya sleep?tensed up?

I'm retired, everyday is relaxation day lol
