I am a workaholic, how to overcome that?
Posted by admin
HeiglLee asked:
I always work. I don’t have time for myself. I am stuck in the cycle of working too much and working too long. Is it because I love the money that comes with it?Or I was just trying to hide my insecurities? Do people derive their sense of worth from what they do instead of who they are?
I absolutely agree with Shain S. That ultimately it’s a material and spiritual issue. Many times, I have to sacrifice the other to keep the one I want and vice versa. On the other hand, I also agree with Mike ND, I don’t really enjoy my vacation, I still receive call from clients asking for my service while I am on vacation, that’s because I advertised my service in local newspaper right before I went for vacation! I feel good telling people about what I do but I don’t really tell people who I am, what I like, what I am passionate about, what I aam concerned most and most importantly, what do I really want for myself (ultimately not money).I must come clean with myself and do some soul searching.

For no man can be had tend to agree with the old wise ones recall that both for no man can be common trait even virtue in highly competitive society like ours especially among males [as you wisely observe deriving sense of alcholics some of alcholics some counselingtherapy] my advice is like an adult.

For accomplishing what you rather appreciate yourself for accomplishing what you wanted them you earn dont see anything wrong about being workaholic in your work that way you rather enjoy the reward you have something to do at time when.
