The First Step: Admitting You Have a
Problem
Hi, my name
is Bertice a I’m a workaholic. There, I wrote it and it’s out there. Just
admitting this is something that I had a hard time doing.
For the past
5 days, I have been at home doing nothing. It was not a choice; I had an
impacted wisdom tooth taken out. Nothing can prepare you for the pain and
recovery.
I expected
to get up like I did after having my gall bladder removed. I expected that I’d
at least be able to work for part of the day, like I did after a year and a
half recovery from a head injury, but all I did was eat and sleep. I tried to
watch intelligent documentaries but I kept falling asleep. When I read I could
only get through a page and had to keep starting again.
I had to do
nothing. Doing nothing is not easy for me. I’ve been working since I was 12 and
I like it. There is a time however when you have to do nothing and during those
times you get to choose what you will do next.
Will you learn to rest when necessary
or will you keep burning the candle at both ends?
Don’t look at me, I’m
still trying to do nothing.
Be you, be well, be
rested.
