All work and no play makes Jack a sad boy, Your boss is encouraging you to find a better work-life balance. An employee that spends too much time focusing on their job tends to get burnt out. Your boss clearly values you, and doesn't want this to happen. The fact that you went in his office thinking you were getting fired might indicate that you might have a bit of imposter syndrome, and working super hard thinking you have to "fake it till you make it". You're probably doing a great job and you don't even know it.
Enjoy the time off. You earned it. Use the time to reconnect with people you care about.
