I used to have about 6 holidays a year and still didn't feel I had enough but nowadays I have more of a relaxed general state of mind so definitely do not NEED them as much, rather it'd be nice to have them.

I can't tell you how many vacations I've been on and been worried about what I need to do when I return or had a day off and worried about all that I need to finish. It's definitely a state of mind in my opinion, it's impossible to relax if your mind is racing and you're stressed about all the things that need to be tended to. Thanks for the insight. Terry P.S.

However, I think the "only thing we have to fear is fear itself" ;) Craig, I agree with you, it’s awfully hard to be relaxed when you have fear on your mind.

RELAXATION is actually a state of mind I believe that relaxation is a direct result of dealing with our fears. Some of the biggies we need to deal with and don't are: * Fear of failure. * Fear of disappointing others. * Fear of being physically hurt. * Fear of embarrassment. * Fear of death. * Fear of being alone. * Fear of being unattractive. * Fear of commitment. * Fear of being not needed or wanted. * Fear of a loved one dying. I can't tell you (specifically) how to deal with your (personal) fears... but I can tell you (from personal and professional experience) that facing up to, and overcoming your fears is one of the most liberating and fulfilling 'growth experiences' you will ever have - aka 'RELAXATION OF THE MIND'.
