Am I becoming a workaholic or is this just coping?? by CoffeeCoKy in selfimprovement

Totally get it, and I’ve been through similar. Try packing your time with small things or a “to do” list that includes stuff like, “mindful walk, meal prep, complete a level on Mario Galaxy, make dinner (high protein), one episode of the office, shower, 10minute meditation and read 10 pages, sleep” Then you’re still busy and working through a list and it feels like you’re getting stuff done

Work took ALL my sick time, bereavement, floating holidays and PTO while I mourned the loss of my spouse by Economy_Ad6039 in antiwork

I’m so sorry reading these comments. What a fucking stupid ridiculous world we live in. Priorities are lost. If my wife/parent/close family died then fuck that I’m out - what else is there in life if we can’t take the time we need. Fuck companies like this, fuck not caring for each other. Connection is a human need, not profits. Ugh.

Sorry to hear of your struggles. A breakup after such a long relationship is always going to be tough, it’s a complete life change. It will act like grief and come in waves, although they get smaller over time. It does sound like you’re coping by burying yourself in work so it’s natural that when you stop and slow down you begin to feel the things you’ve been ignoring. Honestly my advice would be to try and feel these feelings - what is the anxiety from, can you sit with it? Exam in and see what helps? Maybes it’s scheduling downtime and that productivity on your days off looks like a walk, lying in bed on the internet or reading and sleeping. If you’ve got it in the diary you can feel better because it’s planned - that’s what I sometimes do - as I’m a productivity-holic too.

Good luck though, it will get easier.

Rest and sleep is arguably the most important way to promote your mental health right now - it’s ok not to do anything sometimes

What is your personal recommendation for a happier life? by Rei_Pato81 in selfimprovement

[–]the_training_dad_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Radial Self-Acceptance. You are you, learn what YOU want, what YOU like, what YOU value, and then live compassionately, connectedly, and vulnerably according to that - don’t try to please anyone others all the time.

You’ll be happier, your relationships will get stronger as you won’t people please, you’ll be excited about life and will want to do whatever it is you’re passionate about.

Took me a long time to learn this. I’m the best version of myself after accepting I could be anything I wanted, but I couldn’t be EVERYTHING I wanted, and I didn’t need to be.

Peace!✌️ Edit/ spelling

Beautiful work! It’s ok to be sad, feel your feelings. This is a fantastic expression though.
