I am 49 years old, working in a corporate, with 25+ years of experience. I have been passionate for my job and worked hard to reach to current Sr. Management position. While no regret, I am finding it difficult to keep pace with my work. My body isn’t supporting lately as much as it used to until couple of years ago.
Whatever easy I try to take things, mental tiredness creeps in, and believe that’s called stress, when you push your mind more than it can handle calmly.
Recently I got my health tests done and while no so-called permanent disease has happened to me yet, but few key parameters are close to that.
I have started to think that if I continue the same way, it will further worsen. And thoughts of early retirement have started coming.
I am at a crossroad of whether I shall continue with my ambition or hang the boots now.
I guess many would be in the same boat. Any suggestion from anyone?

Thanks for sharing Raja. I am sure many would be in same boat. Technically I believe its possible to maintain a balance, but I know that’s easy said than done. Pls see if you can cut down some of the not so important activities and utilize that time to relax and rejuvenate.
Totally relatable. And something which people don’t talk about too much.
But at the same time, I am of the opinion that hanging boots is not and should not be an option.
The only thing is that while body has cared for you for past 49 years, it needs back the care for next 49 years. It just needs more attention. Starting the day with Yoga can be a good lifestyle change both for physical and mental needs.
And surely, the work life balance has to be weighed in always. Sometimes you need more work and less rest but other times you need more rest and less work.
