Healthy Lifestyle Changes

In order to really be free of being a workaholic, it requires a person to make healthy 
changes in their life that will support a healthier and more balanced mindset. The thing 
to remember is that every person is a work in progress, so you don’t need to do all of 
these in one day, just try to incorporate the ideas gradually. The more mindful you 
become, the easier it will be to add new suggestions to the list. 

Make Sleep A Priority 

This one can be a tough one for people who become very engaged in their work. It’s 
easy to stay awake all night reading different pieces of information or mulling over the 
same issues you have with a project. This process can take away from your valuable 
sleep time, so you have to make getting a good night's sleep a priority. 

You have to make the decision that no matter what interesting thing or imperfection you 
find, that sleep remains the eventual focus of the evening. That’s not to say that you 
shouldn’t finish those last few minutes of work that will make sure you’re finished 
completely, but be sure to be strict with yourself. If you know that 5 extra minutes will 
turn into 2 hours, then just go straight to bed. 

Make A List  

You will see people repeating information about making list forever until the end of time. 
The reason why is because it works. A list allows you to easily see your progress and 
track when you’ve finished something by crossing it off. There’s few things that are 
more satisfying than the experience of crossing off an entire list of tasks. If it’s 
something you’ve never done, then it should be highly recommended. 

Don’t Rush 

A lot of times you really want to get things over with, but when you rush you might not 
be taking the time that you should be taking to make sure that you are producing 
quality. Take your time and finish at a comfortable pace. This is most possible when you 
begin projects as soon as you can.  

Don’t Compare Yourself Others 

It’s important to set your own standards. Comparing yourself to other people who may 
have more than you or have a certain kind of house can cause a lot of suffering. It's A 
toxic mindset that has very little value, and it can prevent you from making the changes 
that you have to make to attain those successes. Learn to be patient with yourself and 
live your truth. That can be enough to make you feel motivated to reach for the stars.  

Learn to Say No

If you’re used to being available to people at the touch of a button, this one could be 
extremely challenging, but it’s needed if you want to take care of your mental health. 
There’s nothing worse than being spread too thin. 

When you are saying yes, it may feel good to be the savior of the day, but when you 
deliver your work too late and too rushed, you’ll look more like the villain. Managing the 
expectations of others and being more focused on what you actually need to be doing 
will bring you more peace.
