There is nothing wrong in retreating from time to time, in order to recharge our energies and recover some of the strength we might lose after a big change, in your case, moving to another continent could me mentally taxing for a while.
Since you said you are back in Canada I suppose you are Canadian?
Yet nowhere in that school of thought, appeared space for retreat.
I think no matter what we do, taking proper rest is basic if we want to maintain our performance in good levels. A few weeks ago I talked about the importance of mental rest and I kindly invite you to give it a read, perhaps you could find a new perspective about this subject.
Cheers pal!
