For those professionals who work too hard
Why do you work so hard?
By asking the question, "Why am I such a hard worker?" your mind begins to answer it. Just to ask the question is to lose because your mind starts telling you all the reasons why you are a hard worker. This will bring understanding about how you work but as Jung criticized Freud, "Thanks, Freud, now we know WHY we are so screwed up BUT WE ARE STILL SCREWED UP!" It is the insight we are after but often the wrong question just beats ourselves up.
In school we were taught that there is no such thing as a stupid question. Why was this? Because it turns out that there are stupid questions after all.
A slightly better question is, "What can I do about being over worked?" This way your mind will come up with things you can do about it based on what you believe your options are.
If you don't like the answer then ask better questions and learn more about what to do.
