If you’re working non-stop and just don’t like to slow down, it may be time to take a breath. Moving too fast through life can cause some health issues, which is why it’s important to take time. Society praises fast-paced life, so if you don’t realize you’re in overdrive there are some tells:
- You wake up with an aching jaw and a headache
- The first thing you do each morning is scroll through your phone
- You live in an "if only" frame of mind
- You often skip meals, ignoring your body's cues
- You scarf down food
- Your friends stopped texting and calling because you never answered anyway
- You're often described as cynical, negative, or restless
- You say, "Let's go!" and "We're late!"
- You waste paid vacation/sick time because you can't be away from your work
- You spend your free time completely shutting down
