This. I needed to get a therapist to actually start doing something about myself not being able to just stop and do nothing. There is always something important to do.
Spot on. Been doing nothing my first week of vacation. Got me feeling stressed out the first days. Five days in now and I'm starting to accept the stillness just noticing more of my own thoughts and feelings.
