why does relaxing always end up stressful?
I thought today would be one of those perfect, easygoing days. I woke up early, made myself a cup of coffee, and decided to take a walk in the park. The sun was shining, birds were chirping—honestly, it felt like a scene from a movie. But then, as soon as I sat down on a bench to enjoy the view, my phone started buzzing nonstop. First, it was my daughter asking if I could babysit the grandkids this weekend. Then, my neighbor called to complain about the leaves from my tree falling into his yard.
I always imagine retirement would be peaceful, but it seems like the more I try to relax, the more things pop up to keep me busy. Does anyone else feel like the universe just won’t let you have a quiet moment? I can’t help but laugh at how hard it is to actually enjoy a simple day off. Maybe I’m not alone in this struggle—are relaxing days ever really relaxing for you?
