Workaholics often suffer from mental stress. Learn to leave the work on your desk at night. Don’t take it home with you. The constant strain on your brain and the constant working even if you are at home can leave you feeling mentally drained. Refresh yourself by taking the night off when you are at home. Catch up at work, when you are at work. Leave work at work. Read when you go home, watch television, or just sit on the porch and listen to the neighborhood to clear your mind and refresh your brain.
How can you change your compulsive working behavior?
Learn to drive slower. Do not be in such a hurry. Work is still going to be there when you get there. Start out your day a little early and enjoy the ride. Always being in a hurry leads to stress, physically and mentally.
Learn to talk a walk, before, during, or after work. Walking is something that just about anyone can do any time for a little stress relief. Again, adding any type of physical outlet to your daily or weekly activities is going to keep you healthy physically and alert mentally.
Stop trying to do too much at one time. Slow down, take a breath, and learn to take on one project at a time or one goal at a time. Reduce the pressure in your life by taking on fewer projects and long term high stress situations at one time.
Relax and listen to music, read a book or watch a movie. When you are able to leave work at work and focus on ‘nothing’ but relaxing for an hour a day your body and your mind are both going to be refreshed.
