I'm a self-employed contractor - been at it for almost 2 years now. Yesterday, a customer told me today was a national holiday, so I said, guess I'm taking the day off then.

Now I'm at home under a heated blanket, sipping coffee and watching YouTube videos. I still get this nagging feeling like I should call someone to say I'm not coming to work or something. It hasn't quite sunk in that I'm my own boss.

It just feels like I got laid off 2 years ago and never went back to work. Sure, I've been working the whole time, but it doesn't feel like it.

Reflecting on that feeling, acknowledging it without judgement, but not letting it make the decisions for you is extremely healthy. Good job and enjoy your day off!
