It took a few years of retirement for me to relax my mind and release the urge to have to do something each day. Now I witness my body, appreciate my body wisdom, and am learning to flow with instead of push-push.
This below is from my daily horoscope
dailyOm.com
 wanted to share it with you.

We can
perform our obligatory tasks more quickly and with a greater degree of
efficiency when we learn to labor in accordance with a natural pace
that suits our needs.
Many people, in an effort to address their
responsibilities, surge forward too hurriedly and, as a result, become
exhausted and unable to make progress. Finding the pace that is right
for us enables us to settle into our work.
When we are comfortably
ensconced in a rhythm that does not tax us too greatly, we neither feel
rushed nor stressed and can continue moving forward with our objectives
continuously.
The discipline we then embody is a direct result of our
being able to focus on one task at a time, without overwhelming
ourselves. As you endeavor to discover your individual pace today, you
will find that the fulfillment of duty grows increasingly effortless
and straightforward.
I trust the process of life. All I need to know is reviled to me, all I need is given to me freely and easily and in Divine timing..

THIS is a powerful affirmation, I use it and it works for me.
