Difficulty switching off outside of work...

Rock climb.

It's very hard to think of work when you are completely focused on making the next move - and a big drop really helps in making you focus on the here and now better than anything else I've come across.

YES! Only during bad times though. Heard its like PTSD (Where you don't necessarily think about 'what bad things happened' rather 'What could I have done' or 'What will I do') etc.

I am more assertive these days and have learned, for want of a better term to not 'give a f***' - but during certain situations I still worry after work

Glad you said that - very much that's it, did I do the right thing etc! Glad I'm not the only one!!

Set yourself some sort of 'target'

For example, if you enjoy running, enter a half marathon. It'll make you go out for a run if your struggling with motivation and it'll also give you something else to focus on (achieving the distance/time), whislst also making you a lot fitter, which in turn will also reduce stress levels.
