Workaholics are like alcoholics, both of them run away from themselves. It’s wonderful to love your work; it’s dangerous to depend on it, because it can negatively affect a person’s physical and emotional health. Workaholism is a pathological dependence on work and a constant desire to work, even to the detriment of other aspects of life. Work overload can lead to chronic stress, insomnia, problems in relationships with loved ones because due to fatigue, a person may throw out negativity on them or simply devote very little time to developing relationships (friendship, family or love - yes, we all want to get enough attention). In addition, workaholism can also have negative consequences for physical health, since a person can ignore his needs for nutrition, physical activity and rest. An equally dangerous enemy for our psyche is achievementism. People suffering from it can constantly set high goals and demands for themselves, not recognizing their achievements and feeling constant dissatisfaction with their results. If the next peak is conquered, then the feeling of happiness comes for just a couple of seconds, and then all achievements are devalued, a new goal is set and the person again enters a lifelong race. What to do if you understand that all of the above is too similar to your lifestyle ?First, you need to acknowledge the problem. It is important to realize that this behavior is not the norm and has a negative impact on your life. Secondly, you should set clear boundaries between work and personal life, and also allow yourself more rest. Yes, it will be very difficult at first, but in your case it is simply necessary. If you cannot cope with this problem on your own, then it makes sense to seek help from a professional such as a psychologist or stress management consultant. They can offer you personalized support and strategies for overcoming work addiction. It is important to remember that overcoming workaholism takes time and effort. Be patient with yourself and don't expect instant results. Have you or someone you know already encountered this problem? We were able to find solutions to it?
