Who are you outside of your work?
We talk a lot about doing less work, but we rarely talk about the vacuum that leaves behind. When your identity has been tied to your output for years, a free saturday afternoon can actually feel heavy or even anxious.
For many of us, the hardest part of overcoming workaholism isn't putting the phone down, it is figuring out who we are when we aren't being productive. Finding a hobby feels like another item on a to do list, and if we aren't immediately good at it, we tend to quit because it feels like a waste of time.
Real rest isn't just the absence of work, it is the presence of play. You deserve to do something just because it is fun, not because it builds a skill or generates income. It is okay to be a beginner. It is okay to be messy. It is okay to do something that has no measurable ROI.
