Hi @pappilloncharity, I think getting too involved in work is a common trap enthusiastic passionate individuals fall into. I know I did and when I finished work permanently I found out that I had chronic stress in my body even when I thought I was dealing with stress related work issues. It was a surprise for me. Just goes to show how easy it is to develop stress physically, emotionally and mentally. Retirement has been a healing time for me.
ps: I loved the chubby bulldog in the first photo and was going to compliment on your choice of dogs until I read further. Hahaha
Oh! I thought that you were going to compliment me on my swinging abilities Lady @angiemitchell 🤣
Yes indeed, if only all of us can understand the dangers of stress, as it is a negative accumulation in the body that never has a happy ending.
It wrecks the mind that then sends erroneous messages to the body that confuses the central nervous system. This is how it was explained to me by a specialist.
Yes, you are right, as chronic stress is also a part of this and I am glad that you are now healing during your retirement period. Perpetual never ending stress is a great battle in life.
Blessings and thank you!
