I’m lucky to be in a position where I do a really interesting job, it’s genuinely something that I find very fun on a personal level.
This is the problem, it means that I cannot switch it off. Because I’m now getting paid for this interest essentially, I can’t turn off the obsession and it’s created more value in my mind than any of my other interests
How can I stop obsessing about work when I’m not there? I’m at the point where I just wake up in the night thinking about work. Not stressing, but just thinking of ideas and stuff.
It’s very ironically ruining my life because I’m just not switching off.
Any techniques, CBT, grounding, ways to rewire and trick my brain here would be really greatly appreciated. Thank you.
