Do any of you who retired early have thoughts on what you did or should have done?

I have been cogitating on the idea of retiring early for a very long time. I recently had a some kind of health problem that has resulted in minor, but permanent, vision loss. Awaiting more tests on that.
I feel like my body is telling me to quit immediately before my quality of life declines any more. But, I’m mentally having trouble letting go of my salary and employer insurance, and switching from a money saver to a money spender.

FIREcalc tells me that I should be fine. I’m 57 years old, have no debt, and am disturbingly frugal. I’m not even sure what I’m asking here, so throw whatever thoughts you have at me.
