I’m a work-a-holic !
Are you ? Your spouse ?How do you know you’re not ?
Oxford dictionaries say … The definition of someone who is a
work-a-holic is …
A person who
compulsively works hard and long hours.
Are you always cleaning the house ?
Volunteer for everything ?Go to work earlier than scheduled time, yet don’t get off till normal time ?
Subconsciously making up work that’s not even there ?
Fear that if you take off time at work, something awful will happen, cause they’ll need you ?
Are you (or your spouse) ..
*Work driven*Don’t know how to relax
*Won’t take time off
*Constant excuses for why you must work
*Won’t take vacation (or very few)
*Think your job can’t live without you, while you’re on vacation
Besides being a
vacation specialist … I’m a Certified Life Coach and Certified Teacher .
Here’s FREE advice in helping you wake up !
I use to be in the bank business. I loved it. However, as a work-a-holic, I go
NOT STOP, as described above ! My
subconscious drives me ! And so does
yours !
Thankfully for me,
30 years ago, I discovered the value of vacation ! How it made me feel, when getting away ! To rejuvenate ! I totally believe, this discover, SAVED MY
LIFE ! Helped me ! With my subconscious addiction !
It’s WHY I’m in
the business. Because I want
EVERYONE who has this same addiction, to discover the same joy of relaxation
! Realize there’s another side to life,
besides work !
Sure, I still come back to working non-stop ! Even more so, before and after ! In general, that’s not going to change,
unless I change my subconscious thinking !
And neither will yours ! It just means I need to take more vacations ... I try to go every 2 months !
I’m also a hypnotherapist … A person who can help you with such
addictions !
Like AA, if you’re the work-a-holic … The 1st step in getting YOU
better is…
Admitting it !
Step #2 … Pre-planning vacation early ! Committing.
Giving yourself that needed time, for believing you deserve it, but
accepting that you’re going to take off, for this well-deserved getaway ! Knowing that you’re not going TODAY, truly
helps you adjust ! Allows you to get
excited, in time, of doing this over and over !
#3, think about choosing a cruise vacation ! WHY ?
*Get out of the country.
So work can’t find you and you can’t find your work !*Discover the relaxation a cruise can bring you
Once I discovered what cruising gave back to me (relaxation, getaway & more), I was hooked. Though I am personally still a work-a-holic, cruising truly gives me that REAL GETAWAY that I need to rejuvenate !
If the person who is a work-a-holic is your spouse ? Again, pre-plan early. Year in advance ! 15 months in advance. And plan the next vacation, 6 months before
you leave on this vacation ! You will eventually get in a routine that they
become adjusted to !
And again, I’m
suggesting a cruise !
If the work-a-holic is male, the hardest part is 1st
getting him there.Know, I am have more male vacation clients TODAY than women !
Once you get him there, he calls ME next time !
What joy is that ? It’s wonderful !
If you think waiting for your retirement or their retirement is the answer (the excuse they give you) … Either 3 things will happen. And you may as well start mentally excepting the outcome now !
*There will be another excuse
*They will volunteer for everything to keep busy !
*They won ‘t make it (be here) to retirement !
Being a work-a-holic is unhealthy, no matter what excuse someone gives you, for having to work …
And waiting till retirement is not the answer !
