pull down to refresh

Old habits die hard. I'm retired. My daily responsibilities are dwindling. I'm on a relaxing vacation with little to worry about. But I still manage to stress about objectively unimportant things. I think I need to meditate.

I face a similar dilemma.
In some ways its a good problem to have.
I do not need to work anymore but now that it is not compelled by necessity, I enjoy work more than ever!

If I meditate- it is on the next project or how to complete a current one.

It probably is ok to slow down a little but hey, its also healthy to keep using the skills you have and remain active doing what you enjoy.

Yeah man. Turn the phone off. Relax your muscles. Maybe do some stretching or yoga beforehand. Then, pick an object and just observe. A cloud rolling by, a butterfly on a flower, waves of the ocean crashing to the shore...

Good advice. The urge to do something is strong. Sitting around goes against my nature. I like to pace.

Maybe you're just not a rest and do nothing vacation kinda guy?

Maybe, but It takes me a while. A comfortable chair, a good book, and frequent naps may help me get there.
