The three-day holiday of Qingming has finally come. I have enjoyed doing nothing but chilling out for two days. I have always been pushing myself to learn, to read, to do housework, to take dance lessons, etc. When I have nothing to do, I feel a little guilty and worry whether I’m wasting my time. Maybe I have put too much strain on myself by filling my daily life with so many to-do lists. Sometimes I just need some free time to release myself from everything and everyone.

The three-day holiday of Qingming has finally come. I have enjoyed doing nothing but chill out for two whole days. I have always pushed myself to learn, to read, to do housework, to take dance lessons, and so forth. With nothing to do, I feel a little guilty and start wondering whether I might be wasting my time. Maybe I have put too much strain on myself with so much ado. Sometimes I just need some free time to escape from everything and everyone.
Good job, Claudia. Nothing to correct, really. Just some suggestions.
I replaced "chilling" with "chill" because it sounds better for some reason. "Chill" here is an infinitive and it works well because it follows the participle "doing". For example, you can say "I do chill", "I do not chill", "I do nothing but chill", "I am doing nothing but chill".
I prefer "I have always pushed" because "always" already makes the action continuous up to the present, so "always been" doesn't add much.
I prefer "and so forth" to "etc." because "etc." sounds businesslike. People do use "etc." but I think it works better in formal situations.

I have always been pushing myself to learn, to read, to do some housework, to take dance lessons, etc. When I have nothing to do, I feel a little guilty and uneasy because I worry that I may be wasting my time. Maybe I have put too much strain on myself by keeping myself busy all day long following a to-do list. Sometimes I just need to have some free time for myself to release some pressure accumulated over time.
There's nothing wrong with giving yourself a bit of time to recharge your batteries from time to time. Take care Claudia.
