Workaholism by Ana Sofia And Marta


Do you spend 12 to 16 hours a day at work? do you frequently neglect your family and friends in order to work? Do you lose sleep hours working or planning what you’re going to do at work next day? Do you waste your weekend going over reports or numbers related to your work? Do you carry your pc everywhere in order to spend every spare moment working? Do you skip meals with the excuse that you have to work? Do you relinquish your holidays in order to work?
If you answer is yes you´re certainly a workaholic. A workaholic is someone who is dependent on work, a person whose obsession with work renders him/her incapable of thinking or doing anything else.
Workaholism can lead to stress and anxiety related with health problems such as high blood pressure. It can also lead to stress related addictions, such as excessive smoking, drug abuse, anorexic or bulimic eating disorders.
High social standards, rising individualism and the compulsive need to do more and be better than anyone else are at the root of workaholism.
To overcome this addiction people who are workaholic must change some habits. Instead of being hours and hours working, try to relax and be with your family, because family is more important than work in any circumstance. Don´t forget that a day has only 24hours so you spend eight hours a day working you have to have time for yourself ,your family and friends. You´ll be more fun and healthy if you think a little bit more in you and in those who are around you than if you´re just thinking in work.
Life isn´t just work so...take it easy.
