Do you sometimes feel you are doing too much?

I felt like that during Lockdown nanna8.
I’m usually very busy one way or another, enjoying my various clubs and meeting friends , but the rest and relaxation during lockdown was wonderful. The weather helped of course and we were at our holiday home by the sea. No pressure, no rushing around and enjoying each others company.

Yes! I have belatedly learned that if I put too much in my diary I get very stressed and don’t enjoy anything. I’m a social introvert - I love being with family and friends but need time to myself to recharge. Fortunately I live on my own!

This last week we have been more or less isolating ready to go on holiday overseas. We didn’t want to get sick before we go and there are a lot of various nasty bugs around just now. I have actually felt really relaxed and happy, no time pressures to meet anyone or attend social functions. Usually I have some sort of social event or meeting nearly every day which I always enjoy when I get there but I’m now thinking of seriously cutting back. I love meeting people but sometimes I just feel like my own company with no social pressure. I run a group regularly which is fine because at least I have to tidy the house! I am also President of a fairly large organisation but they will cope just fine without me , I am sure. Anyway, those are my thoughts for today !
