The Spiral of Workaholism is REAL. Let me tell you, I used to think the more I work, the more I stay busy, the more I will be able to get where I want to go. 

What I realized was the complete opposite. But here's the deal, it's hard to remember this! Especially as a perfectionist, we really truly believe that we are the only ones that know how to handle these tasks. 

For example I was getting ready to get on the plane a few weeks ago for my trip and disaster struck LOL. It’s social media, but it still felt like a complete nightmare to be dealing with - dramatic of me, but true! My client's account had been inundated with spam accounts, and we had to remove them in order to save her insights and all of the hard work we had put into it. Urgency was crippling me, I started to feel tears in my eyes. Then the thoughts began - of course this is happening when I am going away, can I just have one vacation? “What the hell,” I thought. 

This was the moment where I knew I had to ground myself. I asked for help. This was huge. Any other time something like this has happened I handled it because I thought that I would get it done faster by myself. But why? Is that even logical? Not really. Jayme, my lovely business manager, helped me. She assured me all is good, it’s all okay, they can handle this. 

Do you all struggle with this as well? The need to still be involved in every little task?
