Traveling Petite Girl

My life is feeling much more well-balanced as opposed to focusing only on one area of life, like work. As important as it is to make a living and as much as I relate my self-value to work, it’s not everything. Some of us are just workaholics. I used to even “backdoor brag” about how much work I was doing like:

Ugh, I’m getting sick because I haven’t been sleeping enough from all the work I’m getting.

And now my doctor is telling me to stop that or I’ll get UTI. I know this sounds like too much information but I wanted to share this because you might see where you could be making yourself a second, third or fourth priority. That said, workaholic or not, some of us are just really busy. And I totally get that. But that doesn’t mean our health has to suffer.
