Literal therapy.
You should not feel guilty for enjoying your scheduled time off. You should not feel guilty about calling out when you are sick. You should not feel guilty about calling out pretending to be sick because you need a personal day you don’t want to explain. You should not feel guilty about taking a Personal day off when you want to.
Work is a thing we do so we can live life. Work is not life itself. Work is a thing we do to pay our bills so we can do the things we actually want to do in life. If you should feel guilty about anything? You should feel guilty about missing out on your own life because you were too busy worrying about your boss and work.
Work is not life. Your boss does not own your time. You can say no.
Work is a thing we do so we can afford to live our actual lives. There are no hints or tricks. You should not feel guilty about not going to work. Especially during your scheduled time off.

Thank you for your thorough post. I like the idea that we work to live our life not to be defined by it and feeling safe enough to say "no" for work life balance. Thank you for your insight and for sharing.
