ARE YOU A WORKAHOLIC?.

This is someone who works continuously working long hours.

Are you addicted to working?.

Workaholism!!!.

Can this be a serious mental condition?.

Are you in need to achieve a status?.

Are you working to achieve success?.

Tired,body ache but a smile on your πŸ˜” πŸ˜”

You know that you will come back for more and more.

Are you in an abusive relationship and you’re trying to escape emotional stress?.

Is it due to inordinate ambition?.

Are you driven by job success?.

Whatever it is listen to your body.

Don’t kill yourself.

I had a colleague that worked everyday long hours 16hours a day sometimes 20hours a day.

Eventually management called her in for questioning. She gave a very touching explanation. She said that ever since her husband of 28years departed this earth her only companion is work.

Management advice her to find a way to cope because they don’t want her to faint at work or for anything to happen to her.

She cried and later accepted their advice. She took a month vacation and traveled to Canada to be with her sister and their mom.

I must confess that I was once a workaholic.

I had so many financial obligations- student loans, rent,school fees.

And luckily for me I worked with so many Filipinos who motivated me to work nonstop like them.

I surely did.

It was the best feelings.

I was very happy and at the same time guilty.

Yes guilty because I was always at work or sleeping to go back to work neglecting my role as a mother.

I stopped when everyone around me was talking about it and I got sick on several occasions.

So I had to cut down my hours and have more time for my family.

Why are you a workaholic?.
