Take to Twitter to give her followers a life update, the mother of one revealed how she is doing everything possible to enjoy the current life she is living.
Being open about her feelings, she tweeted and wrote, “I’m allowing myself to rest. Allowing myself just like that. It was harder than I imagined. I never allowed myself to do that before…”
His post probably resonated with many as it garnered over 64,000k likes and several supportive and uplifting comments from individuals from various walks of life.
America’s attorney and former president and managing attorney of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, Sherrilyn Ifill, gave unwavering support to the athlete and commented under his tweet.
He wrote, “I understand this deeply. Turning off the “adrenaline lifestyle” is very difficult and takes longer than we imagine. It’s a process, and we must be kind to ourselves as we navigate it.”
Renowned medical expert Dr. Jen Caudle also took on the role of friend and encouragement to Williams by writing, “Take it one day at a time. Let yourself feel all the feelings. This may be new to you, so it’s understandable how you feel. Wait there. (Disclaimer: I’m not a therapist, just a family doctor who talks to lots of people about their feelings).”
Another supporter named Atul Kasbekar, an Indian photographer, took a different approach and praised Williams for being a role model. He wrote, “You have earned the GOAT. You are and will remain an inspiration to millions of men and women around the world, salute.”
I now allow myself to be tired. Allowing myself to rest. Allowing myself just like that. It was harder than I imagined. I never allowed myself to do any of that before…

Williams Initially Imagined Experiencing ‘Boredom’ After Retirement
It seems it’s not just the 41-year-old’s fans who miss seeing him play on their screens, as the four-time Olympic gold medalist revealed that he misses the activities that bring fun and excitement to his life.
According to The Blast, Williams took to her Instagram story on Thanksgiving night to hint at a possible return to the sports world.
The professional tennis player shared a photo of her tennis racket covered in nylon branded with the letter S, which represents her fashion brand “S By Serena.”
In the snap, the new racket is placed on the floor against a gray background similar to the court floor. And on the other side of the picture, Willaim wrote, “I’m a bit bored.”
Also worth mentioning is the time the mother-of-one, during a public appearance, chatted with TechCrunch deputy editor Jordan Crook at a tech event for her company Serena Ventures.
During a friendly one-on-one chat, Williams made some clarifications about the word retirement and stated that he prefers the word “evolution rather than retirement.” He went on to insist that he had never retired and did not appreciate the use of the word.

Although Williams has made history by winning more Grand Slam singles titles — racking up 23 Grand Slam tournament victories — than any other woman or man during the open era in tennis, the star realized it was time to take a break from her professional work.
As previously discussed, Williams and her sister Venus spoke to Bradley Cooper in an interview for A+E Networks.
During the interview, Cooper asked Williams about his retirement announcement and what prompted the decision. Responding, he said, “I just have to stop. I always say I want to stop when I’m playing really good tennis and winning and beating good players.”
He went on to add, “For me, it’s really about what I want to do spiritually and spend time with my daughter and my family.”
