Feeling guilty doing nothing

Since I decided I was going to be a successful entrepreneur, when I have a day off I have this sense of feeling guilty doing nothing.

This Christmas I've taken a whole week off.

And it's been absolutely magical so far.

Lots of food.

Long walks with the dog.

Ripping through box sets.

There's been reading and writing in between, but it's not been for 8 hours a day.

On Christmas Eve as I write this, it does make me wonder where the guilt comes from?

I have spoken about this to many other people who feel the same way.

Is it missing out?

A sense of "being lazy"

Or just a misguided belief that without work I am nothing.

Who knows.

For now I'm glad to be old and wise enough to not ruin the time off by filling it with things I could do later.

Merry Christmas!
