Stop being a workaholic
Hi.
How I stop being a work aholic? It isn't so much in my habits as much as in my mind. I work a fair amount (50+) but that isn't a tremendous amount to some.
But I've over identified myself with my job. I want to change my paradigm. I want my job to be merely that - a job. I want to be good at, and I want to contribute well, but I want to stop living it all the freakin' time.
I just got a demotion (I am a manager) and it doesn't impact my pay, just my ego.
I am seriously thinking of taking the severance...with no options (I don't have another job lined up and I am the breadwinner in my family). What is wrong with me. This is a no brainer. Check the ego at the door. Take the demotion and move on. I make good $.
How do I get my life back in order?
I seriously think this is an addiction. Over identified with work.
Help? Advice?
Thanks
Help?
