I realize I still put pressure on myself during days off. "So you have a couple of days off and now you will @#$% enjoy them!! You have to go to the beach and get a tan, have walks in nature, meet people and most important, don't waste your time doing nothing!!". Of course this gives more stress than relaxation. I think it should be "So you have a couple of days off and you are allowed to do absolutely nothing!! If you feel like doing something, just do it, if you don't, that's all right too.... and when it is over, do not regret the things you didn't do". I guess there is a strong cultural definition of what we have to do with our days off. "What? Didn't you book a flight to some subtropical country? Oh my... So what have you done?? Nothing??? .....What a waste of time... ".
