I realised it today after almost 2 Yrs of working with my current firm.
What was I doing?? —— Chasing numbers, building reports, finding new projects to work, Improving my personal brand within the company, perfecting and perfecting everything I work on, taking someone else’s ownership because they aren’t doing it and lot more.
Multiple people classify this under WorkaHOLYsm..
What does all these things give me?? ——- Decent Hikes and Salary 💵 (Not much of a Financial Stress)
What did I lose?? 🥺
——- I lost my ducking feel of “living the moment” dude
I am literally realising this since a couple of weeks, I used to be fun, friendly and lively in the moment couple of years ago.
In past, People used to be jealous of how I live without any tension finding fun in everything I do —- Indeed I do have tensions then and now…!!
When I meet my friends recently, They say I was zoned-out, non-sync and no more fun and serious all time.
I have started feeling that I am not able to enjoy the “moment I live in” anymore and this is concerning to me.
Is this a Burnout Moment??
When my friends asked me what do I do apart from Work, I literally had to think twice/thrice and then answered that I watch Movies.
I currently do nothing else apart from work and watching movies.
Do you feel this is bad or am I exaggerating a normal thing..!!
Anyone with the same feeling and stuck in this freaking loop?? How did you come out of it.!!
The problem you have stated is with most of the people nowadays. The main reason behind this is listed below:
There could be more things exhibiting similar patterns above , may be you can list them down. Now I am putting out some points which anyone else can follow as well to get themselves on track:
PS: if you are on a night shift, kindly adjust things accordingly. I have mostly written things based on a day schedule. If someone can contribute who has been on a night shift, may be there could be another perspective and help as well on that.
Thanks a ton @Constellation
This sounds promising and simple. I know execution will not be as simple as it seems. I will plan to give this a go.
Just a question, Is this your experience?
How did you come up with this and do you have anything backs the approach shared? To be a little confident and hopeful with your answer.
Adding on, the thing is we forget the daily routine our parents follow. You will notice a pattern towards a morning schedule,no matter how busy their rest of the day gets but they stick to the morning routine.
But as we grow up, we tend to forget or overlook these simple things since we either forget or go out of touch with them. Today's time is about how satisfied and normal you can be with less number of things.
The challenge is not to get distracted with too many things presented to us rather focus on those which we need and be satisfied with.
Unplugging from work for some time and having boundry would be a good way to bring life back to normal. For me it took a layoff to realize how much I was working. I am happier now.
